Appreciate the art of cinema? Join us to watch and then discuss a foreign film led by members of Geneva's International Cultural Exchange Committee (ICEC). This month's selection is Trophy Wife (France), originally titled Potiche. 

In 1977 France, tight-fisted factory owner Robert Pujol is so shocked when his workers strike for higher wages that he suffers a heart attack. His acquiescent wife, Suzanne, whose father had founded the factory, takes over management duties during Robert's convalescence. To her own surprise, Suzanne turns out to be a natural leader whose less dictatorial management inspires both her workers and local liberal politician Babin. Starring Catherine Deneuve and Gerard Dépardieu and directed by François Ozon. Released in 2011. Rated R. Running time 1hr 43min.
