Not speaking French, but knowledgeable on French History, I decided to give this movie a try. The main actress "Charley" starts out as a very unlikeable lawyer who finds a way to get a rapist free by humiliating the victim. She also abuses the elderly and parks in handicap spaces. Like some mix of Dickens' "Christmas Carol" and "Groundhog Day" she is taken back in time to see how women have been treated in the past, and how brave women confronted their oppressors. She is slow to catch on, at one point declaring that all men are crap "except Nicolas de Condorcet" (a mathematician and advocate of racial and sexual equality). Eventually she gets it.
Caroline Vigneaux (Charlie) is an excellent actress, with good comedic timing and for physical comedy. In a country the celebrated Jerry Lewis, she should be a bigger star. Issa Doumbia plays the guide/Taxi Driver, and is also exceptional.
I seldom can sit through a subtitled comedy, but I'll watch this again.
