Though it wears its commitment on its sleeve, the movie is in tune with the times and should find a receptive audience wherever the current financial crisis has left blood on the shop floor. The two main characters are emblematic. When her employer goes bust, a victim of the financial crash, France (Karin Viard), the mother of three adolescent daughters, starts commuting from the port city of Dunkirk where she lives to Paris where she is able find temporary jobs through a home-help agency. Meanwhile in London, Steve (Gilles Lellouche) - birth-name Stephane - is rewarded for his success as a high-flying trader with a mission to set up a new hedge fund in Paris. France soon finds herself house-cleaning in Steve's luxury penthouse. Her duties are then extended to baby-sitting for Albin, the son Steve had with his estranged partner Melody (Raphaele Godin). Inevitably, a romantic entanglement follows. With an improbable idyll about to bloom, Steve lets slip a boast that it was he more than anyone who sank the firm France used to work for and consigned her and her fellow workers to the dole queue. ...My Piece of the Pie (2011) ( Ma part du g teau )

My Piece of the Pie [Region B] Review

I'd never heard of the film, the director, or the actors. The opening credits gave me pause. My idea of a good French film is one set either in the charming old streets of Paris or the luscious fields of Provence. This had neither. We're shown a struggling, single mother, with her dark roots showing under her frizzy hair, who has just lost her job at the docks in Dunkirk. Then we see the other side of life in Paris...a financier with the morals of a snake lives and works in glossy opulence. It happens that he is one of the brains who has shut down her factory. As luck would have it, she ends up working as his housekeeper, and then as an impromptu nanny. Her humanity is a constant contrast to his scuzziness and yet the chemistry that builds up between them keeps you guessing.

This is a smart film, not predictable, with a lot of heart. It's moralistic but certainly not grim or preachy; every scene is enjoyable. The cast is perfect. Gilles Lellouche is the embodiment of rich scum and yet, at times, we hope for his redemption. Karen Viardi, who is interestingly named "France" is wonderful as the heroine. The ending made me cheer and cry. This is a sleeper which I hope gets a bigger audience in the US. I highly recommend it. I'm going to look up more of this director's work.
