Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.  Looking For Hortense is a bittersweet comedie de moeurs that is French in spirit but universal in appeal. Damien (Jean-Pierre Bacri), a Chinese civilization professor, lives with his partner, Iva (Kristin Scott Thomas), a stage director, and their son Noé. The couple's relationship has drifted into routine that has drained it of love. Damien finds himself trapped one day by Iva, who orders him to ask his father, a senior member of the French Council of State, for help in preventing Zorica (Isabelle Carré), a woman Iva knows, from being deported. But Damien and his father don't get on and are barely ever in touch with each other. This dangerous mission throws Damien into a spiral that will turn his life upside down. Actors Jean-Pierre Bacri, Kristin Scott Thomas, Isabelle Carré, Marin Orcand Tourrès, Claude Rich, Arthur Igual & Jackie Berroyer Director Pascal Bonitzer Certificate 12 years and over Year 2012 Languages French Duration 1 hour and 36 minutes (approx)

Pascal Bonitzer directs and co-writes this French comedy starring Jean-Pierre Bacri and Kristin Scott Thomas. Damien Hauer (Bacri) is a professor who is married to theatre director Iva (Scott Thomas) but with the monotony of their daily routine both have grown bored with the relationship. Iva spends her time working on a new stage play while Damien meets a mysterious young woman, Aurore (Isabelle Carré), who wants to join his classes. Hoping to prevent the deportation of an illegal immigrant, Iva asks her husband to request a favour from his judge father (Claude Rich), with whom he has a very strained relationship. Despite being reluctant to seek his assistance, Damien feels trapped and attempts to put his issues with his dad to one side in order to help.
