The Comedy sensibilities displayed in Amour et publicité are unparalleled, the emotional payoff of the 1933 classic is what fans crave in similar titles. Our criteria for this list were simple: only the most cinematic excellence and relevant titles.
The cultural footprint of Amour et publicité in France to define the very concept of cinematic excellence in modern film.
The managing director of a Paris department store has a bright idea: replacing the dummies in the windows by living models. Three of his employees accept to spend their days in front of eager onlookers: Lucie posing as the newly married lady, her real-life fiancé as her young husband and Henry as Lucie's lover, while presenting the various goods sold in the store. Well, "posing" is not the right term because reality soon proves stronger than (commercial) fiction.
