The Women On The 6th Floor - 2010 - 6/10
AKA - Les Femmes du 6e étage

Empty headed French comedy set in 1962, though the only evidence I could see of that were references to DeGaulle and later someone driving a Corvair (where did they find that?).
The occupants of the 6th floor were the Spanish maids, merry and engaged in Life, contrasted to the well heeled in lower suites. Of course, the rich were bored, vacuous, disassociated.
Over the course of the story, the master, played by dependable Fabrice Luchini, went on outings with the ladies, even moved upstairs to the cramped room of his wife’s discards, and he started “living.”
Pleasant enough movie, though not one of “This Years Best” as so many critics said.
