Sometimes all that, we, beings need is a bit of lightness...
and Régis Roinsart with his first film, Populaire (2012), is bringing just that to our screens...
Déborah François, Romain Duris & Bérénice Bejo star in this 50s revisited flick...

A think pink decor (even the typewriter !) that could come straight out of the Rayon Lingerie of a chic Parisian Department Store... with retro golden iron volutes furniture and rococo frames show-casting real perfectly manicured hands...
The rococo frames with hands on the wall give the picture a fairy-tale dimension... and are maybe a kitsch and humorous quotation of the darker and beautiful scene in Beauty and the Beast where chandeliers are held by disembodied muscular arms... Belle has just entered the kingdom of men, love (and the Beast) and there is no way back...

Whereas our charming heroine in Populaire, her name is Rose Pamphyle*, enters the realm of 50s women, working to conquer their independence and taking the (manucured) corridor towards
(a typewriter) emancipation...
* Pamphyle means more or less "friend of all creature" so her main personality trait must be "adorable", right ?
Let's not forget about the indispensable love story either of course...

It's Mad Men meets Doris Day, isn't it ?...
Oh, my grand-father had the same wooden base ring binder calendar on his desk !
Where is the blotter ?
I still have his in beautiful wood...

A French take on revisited 50s fashion and a vintage feel rom-com...
Will you see the film and / or get the look ?
