The Midwife
September 8, 2017 @ 7:30 PM - September 24, 2017 @ 7:45 PM
Sept 8-24
Two of France’s most distinguished stars, Catherine Deneuve and Catherine Frot share the screen in this touching tale of the unlikely connection of opposites. Claire (Frot) is a dedicated and tireless midwife whose sense of pride and responsibility clash with the impersonal efficiency of modern hospitals. She’s raised her son solo and is well pleased that he’s made it to medical school. One day she receives a strange phone call, a voice from the past. Béatrice (Deneuve), the free-spirited mistress of her late father, has pressing news and wants to see her again, over a drink, 30 years after having disappeared without a trace.

Catherine Deneuve, is a joy, with her funny combination of natural dignity and utter confusion, and surface cynicism that yet loves every moment — the most fun, wise and jolly person in any room she enters, yet capable of the sudden plunge into pained and deep emotion. If you want to fall in love with Catherine Deneuve, don’t start with her youth. Start with her here, in her 70s, and then work your way back. – San Francisco Chronicle
