A deliciously sweet comedy that became one of the biggest hits at the French Box office in 2011, The Women on the 6th Floor is the story of a man who learns there is more to life than stocks and bonds. Set in Paris in 1962, Jean-Louis (Luchini) is a wealthy stockbroker whose staid bourgeois existence with his socialite wife (Kiberlain) is thrown into chaos by the arrival of their new maid, a young, Spanish beauty Maria (Verbeke). Suddenly, his eyes are opened to an enchanting new world of music, mayhem, and the joie de vivre of the Spanish servants on the sixth floor…so much so that he moves in with them.
Exceedingly delightful, life-affirming French comedy about an early 1960s clash of class and cultures in a posh Parisian apartment building is irresistible entertainment. FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL
