Catherine Deneuve on "Potiche"
The Leonard Lopate Show | Mar 24, 2011
Actress Catherine Deneuve talks about her starring role in “Potiche,” Francois Ozon’s new comedy. She plays Suzanne Pujol, a submissive, housebound trophy wife, who steps in to manage her husband's umbrella factory, when the workers go on strike and take him hostage. Based on a hit play from the 1970s, the film is a satirical take on the war of the sexes and classes. “Potiche” is playing at Paris Theatre, Angelika Film Center, and Clearview Chelsea Cinemas. She also discusses the retrospective of her work at BAM.
