Jessica is a beautiful young woman from the provinces who has come to Paris and lands a job waiting tables at a chic bistro on fabled Avenue Montaigne. Jessica's customers include a popular TV actress who is courting a major Hollywood director for her first serious film role; a wealthy art collector who is about to liquidate a lifetime's worth of treasures at auction; and an illustrious classical pianist who is at odds with his manager/wife as to where his career is headed. Precisely because Jessica doesn't know how celebrated these people are, her guileless and completely unintimidated engagement in their lives has a transforming effect on them and ultimately her.
DVD, region 1, widescreen presentation; Dolby Digital.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

All I remember is the cool piano stunt submitted by bfields on June 26, 2020, 8:25am Characters that play piano are always a bit of a trick since the actor can't usually pull off the piano parts convincingly.

There's a shot here where the camera pans from showing the character's hands obviously really playing, to his face clearly that of the actor, and you shouldn't skip the DVD extra that shows how they pulled it off.

Other than that, I remember nothing about this movie--other than that I did enjoy it.
