To celebrate the release of the extraordinary romantic Suite Française, in cinemas March 13, we’re giving one lucky person the amazing chance to win a luxurious trip for two to Paris! Over the next four weeks, we’re going to introduce you to the incredible story of Suite Française and what makes it the must see film in March. The film features an all star cast of Michelle Williams, Matthias Schoenaerts, Kristian Scott Thomas, Margot Robbie, Sam Riley and Ruth Wilson.
Based on the best-selling book by Irène Némirovsky and set during the Second World War German occupation of France, SUITE FRANCAISE tells the story of Lucile Angellier (Michelle Williams) as refugees pour into her small town, soon followed by a regiment of German soldiers who take up residence in the villagers’ homes. Lucile’s life is turned upside down and is further complicated by the arrival of refined German officer, Bruno (Matthias Schoenaerts).
The Book
The story behind the publication of Irène Némirovsky’s novel Suite Française in 2004 is itself a tragic one. Némirovsky penned the story whilst imprisoned at Auschwitz, where she sadly died in 1942 and it was only in the 1990s her daughter, Denise, uncovered her notebooks revealing what is now a bestselling novel. Denise Epstein took the unfinished book to a French publisher and the two completed novellas were published as ‘Suite Française’ in France in 2004. The book quickly became an international publishing phenomenon, a first-hand account chronicling the second world war, virtually as it unfolded before her.
