Joséphine (2013)
Directed by Agnès Obadia

Comedy

Film Synopsis

Joséphine has become fed up with being single.  She is nearly thirty and see still hasn't found the man of her dreams.  It isn't as if she is particularly choosy.  All she wants is a good-looking stud who knows how to cook, doesn't smoke and adores cats.  She's not asking for the moon, just a man who can make her happy and give her loads of babies.  Unfortunately, despite her best efforts to land herself her Prince Charming, Joséphine remains single, with only Brad Pitt to keep her company.  Brad Pitt is of course the name of her cat.  The wretched woman attributes her failure to find Mr Right to her physique, in particular her over-developed hind quarters.  If only she wasn't so well-endowed in this department, she would probably be hitched up by now with the perfect clean-living, cat-loving hunk.

Undeterred by her lack of success so far, Joséphine continues her frantic man hunt, confident that one day her luck will change for the better.  Then her sister drops her bombshell: she is about to get married!  Joséphine cannot allow herself to be out-done by her sibling, so she invents a fantasy lover for herself.  He is an incredibly wealthy Brazilian man, a surgeon no less, and he is so passionately in love with Joséphine that he has invited her to live with her on the other side of the world as his wife.  It is not the most outrageous of lies.  In fact it has a ring of plausibility about it.  Unfortunately, this little white fib is about to rebound in ways that Joséphine scarcely imagined possible.  Oh what a nasty tangled web she is about to get herself caught up in...

The greatest French film directors
sb-img-29
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
The best of British film comedies
sb-img-15
British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
The best of Indian cinema
sb-img-22
Forget Bollywood, the best of India's cinema is to be found elsewhere, most notably in the extraordinary work of Satyajit Ray.
The best of American cinema
sb-img-26
Since the 1920s, Hollywood has dominated the film industry, but that doesn't mean American cinema is all bad - America has produced so many great films that you could never watch them all in one lifetime.
The best of Japanese cinema
sb-img-21
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
