Marguerite
Xavier Giannoli with Catherine FrotMichel FauAndré Marcon
2014 Melodrama France 127 minutes
1921, The beginning of the Golden Twenties. Not far from Paris. It is party day at Marguerite
Dumont's mansion. Like every year, an array of music lovers gathers around a great cause
at the owner's place. Nobody knows much about this woman except that she is rich and that
her whole life is devoted to her passion: music. Marguerite sings. She sings wholeheartedly,
but she sings terribly out of tune. Marguerite has been living her passion in her own bubble,
and the hypocrite audience, always coming in for a good laugh, acts as if she was the diva
she believes she is. Despite her husband's reluctance, and with the help of a has-been divo,
both funny and mean, she decides to train for her first recital in front of a crowd of complete
strangers at the Opera.
Loosely inspired by the life of Florence Foster Jenkins.
