Juliette Binoche won the Best Actress prize in Cannes for her performance in this playful and provocative romantic drama from legendary auteur Abbas Kiarostami (TASTE OF CHERRY), his first feature made outside of Iran. Binoche plays a gallery owner living in a Tuscan village who attends a lecture by a British author (opera star William Shimell) on authenticity and fakery in art. Afterward, she invites him on a tour of the countryside, during which he is mistaken for her husband. They keep up the pretense and continue on their afternoon out, discussing love, life and art, and increasingly behaving like a long-married couple. But are they play-acting on a whim, or is there more to their seemingly new relationship than meets the eye?

TCM Classic Film Festival

Turner Classic Movies is bringing the Road to Hollywood tour to Chicago in celebration of the TCM Classic Film Festival this April in Hollywood. Join TCM host Robert Osborne and special guest Jane Powell for a free screening of SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS on Thursday, March 24 at 7:30 PM at the Music Box Theatre, 3733 N Southport Ave, in Chicago. Please email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to enter to win a pass. Only 50 admit-two passes will be awarded. All seating for this event is first come, first serve as will be stated on the pass.

In the classic film, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Howard Keel and Jane Powell are rapturous newlyweds who tame his six rowdy bachelor brothers in the wild Oregon backwoods in this Best Score Academy Award-winning song-and-dance-filled comedy. Jane Powell in the 1940s and 50s had a successful career in movie musicals. However, in 1957, her career in films ended, as she had outgrown her innocent girl-next-door image. She has made brief returns to acting in front of the camera -- on television and in commercials. She has had a variety of roles on stage since the end of her movie career, including the musicals South Pacific, The Sound of Music, and a one-woman show The Girl Next Door and How She Grew, from which she took the title of her 1988 autobiography.

POTICHE

Set in 1977 in a provincial French town, POTICHE is a free adaptation of the 1970s eponymous hit comic play. Catherine Deneuve is Suzanne Pujol, a submissive, housebound 'trophy housewife’ (or "potiche,") who steps in to manage her wealthy and tyrannical husband (Fabrice Luchini)’s umbrella factory after the workers go on strike and take him hostage. To everyone’s surprise, Suzanne proves herself a competent and assertive woman of action. But when her husband returns from a restful cruise in top form, things get complicated. Gérard Depardieu plays a former union leader and Suzanne's ex-beau who still holds a flame for her. Acclaimed writer-director Francois Ozon (“Swimming Pool,” “Under the Sand,” “Time to Leave,”) who had previously directed Ms. Deneuve in the international hit “8 Women,” twists the original play on its head to create his own satirical and hilarious take on the war between the sexes and classes.

POTICHE reunites French cinema legends Catherine Deneuve and Gérard Depardieu in an ensemble cast that includes comic greats Fabrice Luchini and Karin Viard (as Luchini’s secretary and mistress,) while Judith Godreche and Jérémie Renier play the Pujols’ entitled daughter and sexually ambiguous son. The impeccable 1970s era set design and costumes, were created by Katia Wyzkop and Pascaline Chavanne respectively.
