Synopsis
The Housekeeper (2002) — original French title Une femme de ménage — is a quiet comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Sound engineer Jacques is left alone in his cluttered Paris apartment after his girlfriend leaves. He hires a young housekeeper named Laura. She comes weekly at first, then more often, then hardly seems to leave.
Director Claude Berri, the filmmaker behind Jean de Florette and Germinal, moves this one without rushing. Jacques reaches for something he can't quite name; Laura either misses the age gap or ignores it. Jean-Pierre Bacri and Émilie Dequenne play the silences between lines better than the lines themselves. Stream The Housekeeper (2002) online on iFILM.
