Suite Française

Director: Saul Dibb

Cast: Margot Robbie, Ruth Wilson, Michelle Williams, Kristen Scott Thomas, Matthias Schoenaerts

Set in France during 1940, Suite Française follows beautiful Lucile Angellier (Michelle Williams) who awaits news from her husband, a prisoner of war whilst leading a stifled existence with her mean, controlling mother-in-law (Kristin Scott Thomas). When Parisian refugees pour into their small town, soon followed by a regiment of German soldiers who take up residence in the villagers’ homes, Lucile’s life is turned upside down.

In the Angellier home, Lucile initially tries to ignore Bruno (Matthias Schoenaerts), the handsome and refined German officer who has been posted to live with them. But soon, a powerful love draws them together and traps them in the tragedy of war.
