“Gilles Lellouche, a handsome, rough-around-the-edges French star who could be the next generation’s Gérard Depardieu, nails the essence of predatory capitalist shark.”
—Stephen Holden, The New York Times
“Dozens of charming touches…these moments alone are enough to make MY PIECE OF THE PIE a solid investment.”
—Mark Jenkins, NPR
Totally timely in its semi-humorous focus on class warfare and the human toll exacted by the financial crisis, MY PIECE OF THE PIE pits Stéphane (Lellouche), a ruthless, womanizing hedge-fund administrator, against France (Viard), the feisty, sexy laid-off factory worker and mother of three he hires to clean his swanky Paris apartment. Director Klapisch (L'AUBERGE ESPAGNOLE, RUSSIAN DOLLS) guides their separate stories toward a tentative merger over a toddler, but a trip to London, a night out, and a very significant revelation combine to bring the two combatants back to the proverbial barricades. In French with English subtitles. HDCAM video. (BS)
