Jeanne And The Perfect Guy (1998)

"Jeanne And The Perfect Guy" is a French musical comedy that plays out like a Parisian fairy tale with a satirical edge. It follows its heroine through the tangled, often absurd business of falling in love. Virginie Ledoyen carries the film with a lightness that never loses its emotional footing. The archive holds one scene from the production, and it's worth the click. It catches Ledoyen topless, stripped of the film's usual song-and-dance polish. A quieter, more exposed side of her performance comes through in that single clip.
