THE TROUBLE WITH YOU

Director: Pierre Salvadori
Cast: Adèle Haenel, Pio Marmaï, Audrey Tautou
An Official Selection of the Directors’ Fortnight section of the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, and winner of the SACD Award for best French-language film, THE TROUBLE WITH YOU is the sparkling new screwball comedy from French cinema’s master of the genre Pierre Salvadori (Wild Target, Apres Vous, Priceless). Yvonne (Adèle Haenel) is a police detective in a town on the French Riviera and the young widow of police chief Santi, a local hero. When she discovers that her late husband was in fact corrupt, and that an innocent man, Antoine (Pio Marmaï), has spent eight years falsely imprisoned as a result, she decides to do everything she can to help return Antoine to his life and devoted fiancé (Audrey Tautou), inadvertently setting off an hilarious sequence of wild mishaps and misadventure.
