1. Potiche
tonight!
Francois Ozon’s Potiche is a
satirical take on the war between the sexes and classes that has
everything you could want from a French film – music, humour,
irreverence and most irresistibly, the pairing of Deneuve and
Depardieu. Set in 1977 in a French provincial town, Potiche
stars Deneuve as Suzanne Pujol, whose late father founded an
umbrella factory which her husband, Robert, now runs with an
intractable attitude to all his workers, except for his
secretary, Nadège, towards whom he is nothing but tractable.
Suzanne's place is in her very 70s kitchen and she seems to have
contented herself with a life of domesticity. But when the
workers go on strike and take her husband hostage, she steps in
to manage the factory. To everyone’s surprise she proves herself
a competent and assertive woman of action helped in no small way
by union leader Babin (Depardieu), Suzanne’s former beau, who
still holds a flame for her…

and make a huge variety of friends and in turn, could be
life-changing!” (photographs from Dartmouth News of

The professional
photographers at Dartmouth News had a very successful
last year with many publications using their
photography. We were chuffed when the Inn Theatre
Company sent out their press release with one of our
images attached. Whenever we provide photography,
regardless if we took it or if it was contributed, we
always check quality, resolution, size and post process
in PhotoShop to give outstanding results. If you
need us, if only to post process a dull image, just
yell?
