Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris Trailer: Lesley Manville Finds Love And A Dior Dress

Lesley Manville finds herself on the other side of couture fashion in the charming comedy "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris." The film is directed by "Skin" and "Louder than Words" filmmaker Anthony Fabian, and is based on a 1958 book by author Paul Gallico. In the book, a woman named Mrs. Harris is determined to visit the Parisian House of Dior for a dress of her own.

Focus Features shared some tidbits about "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris," calling it a "whimsical comedy" led by "Phantom Thread" actress Lesley Manville, who plays a widowed cleaning woman in the 1950s-set period piece. Isabelle Huppert, Jason Isaacs, and Lucas Bravo round out the film's cast.

Mrs. Harris Lives For A Day

After terrorizing us with her steely gaze and no-nonsense attitude in "Phantom Thread," Lesley Manville turns around to play a frumpy cleaning lady in "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris" (it's pronounced Par-EE). Wasting her life away cleaning houses and waiting for her soldier husband to return, Mrs. Harris decides to gather up all her savings and head to Paris, where she makes an immediate impact on those French snobs, including Isabelle Huppert, who this time plays the steely haute couture expert who wants to throw Mrs. Harris out of the fashion house.

"Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris" looks like an absolute charmer, and a hilarious 180 from "Phantom Thread," for which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. At the very least, it looks like a period piece about fashion that will go down much easier than the 2017 Paul Thomas Anderson film.

Here's the official synopsis for "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris":

In partnership with the House of Dior, Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris tells the story of a widowed cleaning lady in 1950s London who falls madly in love with a couture Dior dress, and decides that she must have one of her own. After she works, starves and gambles to raise the funds to pursue her dream, she embarks on an adventure to Paris which will change not only her own outlook, but the very future of the House of Dior.

"Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris" will premiere in theaters July 15, 2022.

These pants are made with the world’s strongest material woven into its fabric – Graphene

There’s a high chance that the Omega pants will outlive the human race. Now I’m not being a pessimist, I’m just stating that these all-purpose pants come with the toughest ever material known to man woven into its fabric. With a lifetime warranty that should last long enough for it to be passed down multiple generations, the Omega pants were built to literally be worn forever, or quite possibly until the end-times… a little too stark? Maybe, but it drives the point home! Designed for practically any activity that requires pants, the Omega pants by Graphene-X come with a 3-layer fabric that isn’t just destruction-proof, it’s stretchable, waterproof, and has the ability to regulate your body’s temperature so you could potentially wear the same pair of pants while rock-climbing in the sun or on a skiing trip to a snow-capped peak. The pants’ fabric as well as its construction together help it juggle its different roles. Styled like a pair of all-purpose pants with removable leg-pieces, ...

A lounge chair you can ‘lean on’

Remember the Ovini Balance Stool from last year? The Sway Chair is the Ovini’s bigger brother with a backrest! Designed to be a lounging chair that has the flexibility of perhaps the beanbag, KI’s Sway Chair comes with a hemispherical base that rests on a freely rotating and swiveling base that has 4 legs. The contact points between the seating area and the base have ball bearings concealed within them that allow you to lean forwards, backwards, or even sideways in the chair, choosing a position that’s comfortable for you. With a simple physical action, you can change the chair from a work-chair to a lounger to lean back and relax in. There’s a certain bit of resistance/friction too, which means the chair retains the position you set it in, rather than swinging willy-nilly. Oh, and this one, unlike the Ovini, also comes with a rather nifty backrest as well as an adjustable foot-stool! Designer: KI Yanko Design https://ift.tt/2y1jNWK September 28, 2018 at 09:02PM

Contemporary Chinese Cinema: Shunji Iwai’s Letters from Shanghai

Contemporary Chinese Cinema is a column devoted to exploring contemporary Chinese-language cinema primarily as it is revealed to us at North American multiplexes. The sneakiest major release of the year is surely the latest from Japanese director Shunji Iwai, whose new movie opens this Friday at a dozen multiplexes around North America courtesy of the distributor China Lion Film. Last Letter is Iwai’s first film made in China, and stars Zhou Xun, who starred in one of last year’s best films, Ann Hui’s Our Time Will Come , which was also distributed here by China Lion. That he would be working in a new country is no surprise: Iwai is one of the more eclectic filmmakers of his generation: having started in TV and video in the early 90s before moving into film, he’s since made documentaries and music videos, science fiction films and anime, epics of modern alienation and ravishingly romantic odes to the wonders of youth and love. His last film, Chang-ok’s Letter , was an hour-long...
