If you liked 'Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain', you don't mind sentimentality and kitsch, then you will certainly love 'Odette Toulemonde'. It's a great fairy tale-like story set mostly in Charleroi, a small city in the Wallonian rust belt. Catherine Froth is perfectly cast as the main character Odette. The story is by Éric -Emmanuel Schmitt, who -- just like the writer in the story -- although successful, is not taken too seriously by the Parisian literary establishment. Thanks to Chus, I found and immensely enjoyed this beautiful film.
