About Charles and Lucie
An old and poor couple, Charles and Lucie, scrape by working as a concierge and an untalented antique dealer, respectively. But one day, their dreary daily routine is disrupted by the surprising news that they have inherited a luxurious house in the South of France.
Directed by Nelly Kaplan, Charles and Lucie leans on a strong ensemble — Daniel Ceccaldi, Ginette Garcin, Georges Claisse — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1979.
