Joueuse (Queen to Play) Screening November 18, 2010

Thursday, November 18, 2010 (7:00 p.m.)

Laguna Beach Film Society presents
Joueuse (Queen to Play)

Directed and written by Caroline Bottaro, together with Caroline Maly and Jeanne Le Guillou. Based on Bertina Henrichs’ 2005 novel The Chess Player.
.
Sandrine Bonnaire and Kevin Kline (in his first French-speaking role) shine in this sophisticated feel-good comedy set in idyllic Corsica. Middle-aged chambermaid Hélène’s new-found obsession with the game of chess leads her to seek the tutelage of a reclusive American expat, transforming both of their ho-hum lives in the process. Joueuse is a fluid, perceptive drama, shining a light on our ability to alter our lives for the better by embracing the potential for latent gifts, for taking control of our destinies, and for living by Kroger’s credo about keeping in mind the importance of “breaking rules at a timely moment.” This is a real treat: charming, guileless and engaging from first frame to last.
