Beautiful movie, with 2 wonderful leads - taking us behind the scenes & into the inner lives of somewhat vulnerable head Dior seamstress (Nathalie Baye) & her 'adopted' apprentice (amazing performance from young Lyna Khoudri). Although I couldn't track down any subtitles - searched far & wide - I still thoroughly enjoyed this warm & richly told tale. Thanks so much, Freeman. (And thanks in advance for tracking down some subtitles...)
