Rekindle your love of Paris in Orchestra Seats

Starring Cecile de France, Valerie Lemercier, Albert Dupontel and Claude Brasseur

New to Paris, Jessica takes a job in a café facing a theatre, a concert hall and an auction house. The café is a refuge for various colourful characters, and the endearingly naïve and curious Jessica becomes a catalyst for the resolution of her customers' problems. Among them is a soap star desperate to be taken seriously, a concert pianist longing for solitude and an art collector selling his life's work. Thoroughly charming and touching, Orchestra Seats never outstays its welcome, bringing questions of art and love to a head quickly and neatly. A word of warning, however: you may leave the cinema absolutely desperate to jump on the Eurostar to the Champs-Elysees.
