Miss Violet

Miss Violet (Louise Violet, 2024) — watch online on iFILM. Director Éric Besnard sets the story in late-nineteenth-century rural France: Alexandra Lamy plays Louise Violet, a forty-year-old Parisian schoolteacher dispatched to a village that has no interest in what she is selling.

Families there live by the harvest, not the school calendar. Louise wins them over one reluctant parent at a time, with the mayor — Gregory Gadebois — shifting from skeptic to genuine ally. Alexandra Lamy plays her with a patience that never tips into sainthood. Louise's own past catches up with her before the film is done. Stream Miss Violet (2024) on iFILM.
