In 2004, Fayard Editions published “Cliente,” a book written by Josiane Balasko. Josiane Balasko, the actress? Yes.
In her first novel, Josiane Balasko stages a trio: the husband, the wife, and… the “client.” A comedy of manners but also a vaudeville.
From the sentences laid out in this book, Josiane Balasko made a film: a film featuring Nathalie BAYE, Eric CARAVACA, Isabelle CARRE, and Josiane BALASKO!
Synopsis:
Fanny and Marco have been married for four years. They love each other. She works in a hair salon, he takes odd jobs on construction sites. At least, that’s what she believes until the day she discovers his real job: escort boy.
“Cliente” will be released in theaters on October 1, 2008. However, the Pathé Masséna offers a preview on Friday, September 26 at 8:30 PM in the presence of the director, Josiane Balasko. (Session open to the public – usual rates)
