A Dress for Mrs. Harris wins on Netflix
It often happens that films that went unnoticed during their theatrical release are given a second chance thanks to their arrival on Netflix. This is once again the case A dress for Mrs. Harris released in November 2022, which is currently on sale first place for the most watched films on Netflix France.
This comedy-drama directed by Anthony Fabian was a major failure at the cinema global box officel, with only $31 million in revenues (of which $6 million in the UK), for a budget estimated at $13 million. In France, the film attracted only 68,000 spectators in theaters.
Isabelle Huppert and Lambert Wilson in the casting
Based on the 1958 novel Mrs. «Arris goes to Paris by Paul Gallico, the film tells the story of Ada Harris (played by Lesley Manville), a London housekeeper in the 1950s who, after saving for years, decides to make her dream come true by purchasing a high fashion dress from the prestigious house Dior Paris .
The film stands out for its careful reconstruction of the period, with costumes and sets that faithfully recreate 1950s Paris and the luxurious world of haute couture. The art direction and costumes play a key role in the film, highlighting the contrast between Mrs. Harris in London and the glamor of Parisian high society.
Alongside Lesley Manville we find, among others, Jason Isaacs, Lambert Wilson, Lucas Bravo and Isabelle Huppert. The latter embodies the villain of the filmcustodian of the Dior temple in Paris, who hits the mark with his sharp answers.
In an interview given to Rowingsaid the legendary French actress about the film A dress for Mrs. Harris :
The film says something about the fact that certain desires, certain dreams, should not be reserved for an elite but accessible to the greatest number of people. Ms. Harris will inject some democracy into the fashion monarchy
