Acclaimed director Claude Berri (Jean de Florette) helms the whimsical
romantic comedy Ensemble, c'est tout (Hunting and Gathering, 2007). A
box office blockbuster in France, the picture follows the romantic
couplings that form in the lives of several lonely Parisian singles. The
lead characters include: an emotionally fragile, exhausted cleaning
lady named Camille (Audrey Tatou) who is suffering from anorexia; a
well-to-do young man named Phillibert struggling with his own sexual
orientation (Laurent Stocker) but who begins to drift toward
heterosexuality and a stable relationship with a woman; and Phillibert's
rebellious pothead roommate Franck (Guillaume Canet), who can never
quite breach the possibility of committing to one woman, or come face to
face with his dream of opening a French restaurant - until he meets
Camille and the pieces begin to fall into place. Writer-director Berri
adapted the novel by Anna Gavaldi.
