★ 改編自大文豪馬里沃的浪漫喜劇《假秘密》

長相俊帥卻家道中落的窮小子杜弘（路易卡瑞 飾）是貴婦艾拉敏特（伊莎貝雨蓓 飾）的新任管家，儘管艾拉敏特是一位喪夫的寡婦但仍風韻猶存，杜弘底下對她傾心不已。此外，杜弘的前管家杜布瓦也在宅內工作，同時計劃著一個詭計，企圖要讓艾拉敏特愛上杜弘… 本片為歐洲劇場名導呂克．邦迪的電影遺作，靈感來自於他所執導廣受好評的舞台劇：大文豪馬里沃的浪漫喜劇《假秘密》。他將劇本、演員從台上延伸到舞台之後，包涵整個巴黎奧德翁劇院的各個走廊和房間，在戲劇和電影之間創造出一個全新的定位。

Luc Bondy’s final feature film as director draws talent from both stage and screen to bring Marivaux’s play into 21st century Paris. Isabelle Huppert commands the screen as Araminte, the wealthy widow who unwittingly hires the smitten Dorante (Garrel) as her accountant. Secrets and lies accumulate as Dorante and his accomplice, Araminte’s manservant Dubois (Yves Jacques), manipulate not only the good-hearted Araminte, but also her friend and confidante, Marton (Manon Combes). Dorante, by turns pitiable and proficient, but always deferential to his social better, walks a fine line in his quest to arouse an equal desire in the object of his affections. Bulle Ogier delivers a memorable turn as Araminte’s mother, who suspects the young man’s intentions, but wants to push her daughter into the arms of an aged, hard-up Count (Jean-Pierre Malo). Filmed in part on-site at the Theatre de l’Odeon, the film blurs the distinction between stage and screen, offering a new turn on this classic take on the psychology of love.
