Description

Nelly and Monsieur Arnaud, starring the luminous Emmanuelle Beard (Mission: Impossible), is the profoundly moving final lm from masterful French director Claude Sautee (Un Coeur end hiver). Nelly (Beard), 25, is stuck in a loveless marriage while barely making ends meet. A friend introduces her to the wealthy and much older Arnaud (Michel Perrault, La Cage aux Follies) in order to help him write his memoirs. Thus begins a playful, tentative flirtation that is forever threatening to bloom into a romance. But instead Nelly gets involved with Arnaud’s charming editor (Jean-Hughes An glade, La Femme Nikita). Arnaud and Nelly get stuck in a silent dance of sideways glances and off-hand gestures, the secret choreography of unrequited love. Nelly and Monsieur Arnaud, winner of Best Actor (Michel Perrault) and Best Director at the Cesar Awards, is a poignant, bittersweet, and beautifully performed romance that stands as an exquisite capstone to Sauté's brilliant career.
