Countess Aurelia may be a woman of the world but she's defiantly not living in it. The Paris-dwelling Countess remains lost in a fantasy world where reveries of a happy past keep her content. Aurelia's eccentric crew of confidantes roam the Chaillot district of Paris in similarly bemused states of mind. But when Aurelia's friends learn that oil drillers are planning to ruin Paris as they know it, they jar the Countess out of her fog, hoping she will save their beloved city. [More]

Reviews for The Madwoman of Chaillot
A tremendously talky effort featuring a ton of stars. One of two films I tried to sit through, but couldn't.
