Fauteuils d'orchestre
Orchestra Seats or Avenue Montaigne
(France, 2005, 103 minutes)
A young provincial girl comes to Paris and finds work as a waitress at a café in a fashionable district, finding herself involved in the lives of a concert pianist, an actress and a self-made-man who are regular patrons. Musty, old-fashioned ensemble comedy-drama of the type Neil Simon used to know how to do; despite a game cast and some choice dialogue, it’s harmless, inoffensive and not very exciting entertainment.
A Mars Distribution/Studiocanal release. Alain Sarde presents a Thelma Films/Studiocanal/TF1 Films Production/Radis Films Productions production, with the participation of Canal Plus and Cinécinéma and the support of Région Île-de-France. Starring Cécile de France, Valérie Lemercier, Albert Dupontel, Claude Brasseur, Dani, Christopher Thompson; Laura Morante as Valentine; with Suzanne Flon; and the special participation of Sydney Pollack. Directed by Danièle Thompson; produced by Christine Gozlan; written by Danièle Thompson and Christopher Thompson; music by Nicola Piovani; director of photography, Jean-Marc Fabre; production designer, Michèle Abbe; costume designer, Catherine Leterrier; film editor, Sylvie Landra.
