About La femme du Patron
On the one hand, there is the husband, owner of a chic restaurant but who cannot make ends meet. On the other, there is his wife who is waiting for her husband's absence to receive her lovers at her home. In this unconventional restaurant there is also the perverted cook who also waits for his boss to turn on his heels to test the young apprentice waitress in the kitchens. Finally, there’s the boss’s best friend - Libertine at heart - who thinks she has found the miracle solution to keep customers coming back. As we can see, we did not leave the hostel!
Directed by Fabien Lafait, La femme du Patron leans on a strong ensemble — Melany Paris, Marguet Ninos, Lyna Cypher — 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 screen titles of 2017.
