Life begins to imitate art in uncanny ways when earthy British beauty Gemma (Gemma Arterton) and her furniture restorer husband Charles Bovery (Jason Flemyng) move to the very same Norman village where the novel Emma Bovary  was written. Local baker and Flaubert fan Martin Joubert (Fabrice Luchini) falls for the lovely and charming newcomer and sets out to be her mentor. It doesn’t take long before his wild imagination leads him to draw parallels between the literary and real life woman, as he insinuates himself into her life. Whether you’ve read Flaubert or not, Gemma Bovery is an insightful, delightful comedy of manners.  Written and directed by Anne Fontaine, the film suggests men may not play exactly the roles they think they do in women’s lives.
