avenue montaigne

Lives intersect and overlap in this French drama, which focuses on the varying fortunes of three artists from different mediums who all await a different date with destiny on the 17th of the month. Catherine, Jean-Francois and Jacques sometimes cross paths at a cafe where Jessica often waits on them. Catherine is an acclaimed actress who is about to open a new show; Jean-Francois a musician who is preparing for a major recital; and Jacques is about to sell his extraordinary art collection. They are all caught between their private dreams and public images.

“[Daniele Thompson] directs the multicharacter comedy with such smooth assurance that the movie glows with infectious cheerfulness.” (Hollywood Reporter)
