About Nouvelle chance
How do you bring together such different people as Odette Saint-Gilles, an aging, forgotten actress living in a welfare home, Augustin Dos Santos, a pool boy at the Ritz Hotel, Bettina Fleischer, the heroine of a popular soap, and Raphael, a young, disturbingly handsome man? Together, will they have a last chance to make their dreams come true?
Directed by Anne Fontaine, Nouvelle chance leans on a strong ensemble — Danielle Darrieux, Arielle Dombasle, Jean-Chrétien Sibertin-Blanc — 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 2006.
