My Wife is an Actress

Yvan (Yvan Attal) is a sportscaster whose wife, Charlotte (Charlotte Gainsbourg), is a famous actress. She goes to make a film in England where legendary actor John (Terence Stamp) tries to seduce her, leading to much comic behaviour and zaniness. Strangely, this is a French film with a sense of humor about itself and absolutely no gory sexual violence. It’s even charming, just like old-time French movies used to be. My Wife is not only a great date movie, it’s also a great single-guy-who-likes-to-stare-at-Charlotte-Gainsbourg movie, which is a genre we just don’t see enough of these days.
