Let's Talk About the Rain in March

17 March 2009

The multi-talented writer-director-actress Agnès Jaoui stars as a feminist writer and aspiring politician who reluctantly revisits her roots in this witty, intelligent and engagingly performed comedy.

When she returns to her childhood home in the South of France for an election rally and help her uptight sister Florence with her late mother's affairs, Agathe Villanova (Jaoui) is asked to take part in a documentary about successful women. But the ineptitude of the comically amateurish filmmakers (Jamael Debbouze and Jean-Pierre Bacri) manages to exacerbate the tensions of all those around them, forcing Agathe to confront the consequences of her own ambitions.

Once again collaborating with Jean-Pierre Bacri, co-writer and star of Look At Me and Le Goût des Autres, Agnès Jaoui's entertaining film takes a humorous and perceptive look at relationships.

Let's Talk About the Rain

Let's Talk About the Rain (Parlez-moi de pluie) will be released on UK DVD by Artificial Eye on 23rd March 2009 at the RRP of £19.99. The disc will feature a 2.35:1 anamorphic transfer of the film, a theatrical trailer and interviews with Agnes Jaoui and Jean-Pierre Bacri.
