A lawyer (Fabrice Luchini) come to Monaco to defend a wealthy woman who is facing murder charges. His cilent's
son has provide the lawyer with a bodyguard (Roschdy Zem). However, the local weather girl/ slut (Louise Bourgoin) has
set her sights on the lawyer and makes his life a wreck. Can the bodyguuard step in and fix everything so the lawyer
can focus on the trial and stay away from teh she-devil?
THE GIRL FROM MONACO is a movie about an upright lawyer who tries to loosen up only to have it get him in trouble.
He forms a bond with his bodyguard (whose life is strict and ordered). The film is filled with humor, a little
suspense, and sexual tension. Part of the ending I saw coming while the other part I didn't. Director Anne
Fontaine has crafted an interesting and sexy film about life and relationships.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
THE MAKING OF THE GIRL FROM MONACO focuses on the filming of sequence 14 in the movie with behind-the-scenes footage
from the filming and commentary by the director Anne Fontaine and actor Fabrice Luchini. It is an interesting
direction to take a featurette where you usually have an audio commentary or a basic behind-the-scenes featurette.
FINAL ANALYSIS: THE GIRL FROM MONACO is sexy and intriguing.
