I was living in Paris when I saw this film—and while Deneuve is sill beautiful, I thought her sister (and co-star in this wonderful film, as Gattina just pointed out), Françoise Dorléac (Deneuve's real name), was absolutely gorgeous. I still remember so well hearing the sad news of her death.Alexahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620873522996260383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-920306086483142224.post-78261149594249096052011-08-31T15:29:48.801-04:002011-08-31T15:29:48.801-04:00Of course I have seen this movie, long ago !

Deneuve was as lovely this past year in "Potiche" as she was then, and no "work" on her face, either.<br /><br />The political discussion which accompanied this was very enlightening.
