Film racontant l’histoire de Liliane Bettencourt. Je ne connaissais pas l’histoire avec le photographe manipulateur (François Marie Banier). Le film est très bien réalisé, les dialogues travaillés et on sent l’alchimie entre les deux acteurs principaux (Isabelle Huppert et Laurent Lafitte)
Synopsis
Marianne is THE richest woman in the world. Pierre-Alain, is a dandy-writer-photographer in Paris. They meet on a photo shoot and become inseparable. Their loving friendship surprises, amuses, intrigues, makes people talk and eventually unsettles the billionaire’s entourage and family. Marianne's daughter, in particular, struggles with her mother’s sudden complicity with this younger man insatiable for money.

👍 Stellar performances by Huppert and Lafitte
👎 Some themes and subplots feel underexplored
