The Alliance Française French Film Festival and Palace Cinemas presents a special event matinée screening of the uproarious comedy based on actual events, The President's Wife, starring Legendary French actress Catherine Deneuve!
This event includes a glass of French bubbles on arrival!
1995, Jacques Chirac is elected President of the French Republic. When Bernadette Chirac (Deneuve) steps into the Elysée, she’s ready for the recognition she’s earned, having tirelessly supported her husband’s journey to the presidency. Instead, she finds herself set aside and brushed off as old-fashioned, cold and sour-tempered. With the help of her chief of staff, Bernard Niquet (Denis Podalydès, Rise, AF FFF23) Bernadette embarks on a campaign to restore her reputation and assert her role as first lady.
A captivating portrait of an unexpected feminist icon, The President’s Wife is a delightful tapestry of satire, whimsical musical numbers, and vibrant visuals, offering a heart-warming celebration of Bernadette Chirac’s resilience and wit.
