Directed by Emmanuel Mouret Cast. Édouard Baer, Cécile de France, Alice Isaaz. Shot in the French countryside, where the aristocracy lives and plays in manicured mansions, Mademoiselle de Joncquières strips away the layers of artifice beneath the play of manners to tell an age-old story about a libertine pursuing a beautiful woman of virtue. Madame de La Pommeraye (Cécile de France) has retired into virtual seclusion following the death of her husband, only to find herself being wooed by the dashing Marquis de Arcis (Edouard Baer). Events develop in the most surprising ways, and Madame seizes an opportunity provided by a new acquaintance (Alice Isaaz), the young mademoiselle of the title. (Toronto International Film Festival) Based on a story told by a character in Diderot’s Jacques the Fatalist and His Master.
