Closing Film in Competition for the COLCOA CINEMA Awards

 

In 2017, the Cinema competition will close on Tuesday with the North American Premiere of the new romantic Comedy of writer/director Eric Lavaine: You Choose (L’Embarras du choix), starring Alexandra Lamy.

 

This breezy confection is the ideal vehicle for actor Alexandra Lamy’s comic madness. Juliette has perfected the art of indecision. At the age of 40, she defers to her father, or her two besties, Joëlle and Sonia, for all of life’s questions, from what to eat for lunch to what to do for a living. When her exasperated fiancé dumps her, Joëlle and Sonia decide that the best thing for her to do is find a new beau immediately. Juliette leans into the task at hand, and is soon rewarded with Etienne, a charming foodie with a well-equipped kitchen. Then disaster strikes, in the form of a Scotsman named Paul. With his lean profile and fat wallet, Paul is every woman’s idea of a catch. To make matters worse, both men make proposals of marriage. When her usual advisors refuse to make the choice for her, Juliette has only one choice left: stall, stall, stall.

Screening will be followed by a discussion with writer/director Eric Lavaine and actress Alexandra Lamy.

 

Drawing for the WIN A TRIP TO PARIS contest will take place in the lobby after the last vote.  Bring your ticket(s)!
