Plot
Set in 1977 in a French provincial town, Potiche is a free adaptation of the 1970s eponymous French hit comic play. Deneuve is Suzanne, a submissive, housebound 'trophy housewife' (or "potiche") who steps in to manage her wealthy husband's umbrella factory after the workers go on strike and take him hostage.
.
To everyone's surprise, she proves herself a competent and assertive woman of action. But when her husband returns from a restful cruise in top form, things get complicated. Depardieu plays a union leader and Suzanne's former beau who still holds a flame for her.
.
Acclaimed writer-director Francois Ozon ("8 Women") twists the original on its head to create his own satirical take on the war between the sexes and classes.
