2012 Movie
Dir. Régis Roinsard · Belgium, France · English, French
A French romantic comedy set in the 1950s, it’s like a “She’s All That” with Mad Men aesthetics. Sounds like an odd mix? This film is odd, but does it so well. It’s a quirky and triumphant look at women’s rise to respect in the workforce. A girl destined for a quiet life sees her true potential come to life when she joins an insurance agent as his secretary. Together they train for a speed-typing contest, and together, they fall in love.
An insurance agent and his new secretary become locked in the grip of romance and competition as they train together for a speed-typing contest.
"Almost never hits a false key. A delight."
— Jessica Lambert
"Deft execution by Roinsard and his appealing cast make the film a solid, genially retro entertainment."
— Godfrey Cheshire
