Berlin – Ironing the man's shirts flawlessly and always cleaning the floor clockwise: tasks that young girls learn in the Van Der Beck home economics school.
"The Perfect Wife" is the name of the comedy in which France's screen star Juliette Binoche teaches her students to be her husband's willing slave – and always in a good mood. Martin Provost, who specializes in portraits of women with “Violette” and the award-winning biopic “Séraphine”, shot his first feminist comedy with the film (in the original: La Bonne Épouse). With humor he illustrates how the struggle for the emancipation of women began over 50 years ago.
