Win tickets to see this French comedy…before it gets the Hollywood treatment....
Meryl Streep and Stephen Frears have teamed up to tell the “official biopic” but French director Xavier Giannoli and actress Catherine Frot snag the story first with this sharp and mischievous satire, inspired by the life of American soprano Florence Foster Jenkins.
Wealthy Marguerite Dumont (Frot) loves to sing passionately for an avid crowd of friends and devotees. The only problem is she’s terrible! Marguerite is kept in the dark about her extreme lack of talent by her husband (André Marcon) and butler (Denis Mpunga). However, an unexpected rave review leads her to plan a public recital – so how can the charade possibly continue?
