Ma femme est une actrice

Charlotte Gainsbourg’s longtime partner, actor-director Yvan Attal, established himself as something of a Gallic Woody Allen with this breezy, hilarious romantic comedy. He appears as a neurotic sportswriter consumed with jealousy when his famous actress wife (Gainsbourg) is cast opposite a silver-fox leading man (Terence Stamp) in a steamy love story—a situation that’s not helped when he walks in on them rehearsing a sex scene. Gamely playing heightened versions of themselves, Gainsbourg and Attal generate irresistible chemistry, while the autobiographical overtones make this a fascinatingly personal glimpse into the perils of life in the public eye.
