Desertman84 My Wife is an Actress is a French romantic comedy film that features real life couple,Yvan Attal and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Terence Stamp co- stars among others. The story is about a journalist who becomes obsessively jealous when his actress wife gets a part in a movie with an attractive co-star. Attal also wrote and directed the film. Yvan is a young sports writer who finds himself happily married to the beautiful Charlotte, a fantastically popular movie actress. All is going swimmingly for Yvan until a stranger plants the seeds of jealousy and doubt in his mind over his wife and her libertine profession. Meanwhile, Charlotte is in London, starring in a movie with a very seductive and sophisticated Terence Stamp. Soon misunderstandings pile upon misunderstanding until Yvan's marriage is on the verge of collapse.This is an appealing dramatic romantic comedy as it explores the marital downside of fame. It's about the hazards of being married to someone whose profession and celebrity pose a constant threat to matrimonial harmony. The movie dispels the fantasy of a movie-star spouse exploring the reality with adequate humor but precious little insight. Surely this premise would be fascinating for the viewer but unfortunately,it turned out to be lightweight movie that could be categorized as a it's a pleasant enough diversion.Unfortunately, the movie avoids the deeper details that it seems underdeveloped and make it realistic enough to become a thought-provoking film.But Charlotte Gainsbourg's presence is a delight on screen.

fanaticita I'm not familiar with French films, but I purposely bought this film because I am a long-time fan of Terence Stamp. And as always I am never disappointed in his presence on the screen. Ivan Attal was hilarious as the jealous husband -a very talented, animated actor. Charlotte did a fine job, but seemed low energy or bored most of the time. The attraction between Charlotte and Terence was laughable. I caught that amusement in Terence's behavior whenever he was around her -he really couldn't care less, could he, but why not try? His lack of enthusiasm was evident when he approached Charlotte's assistant with: "Well, what are YOU doing tonight?"At the end of the "I'm pregnant!" scene, I wanted to know: Whose baby?

lizbass This movie is disappointing. The film has a great cast and starts with a good premise (and very stylish opening credits), but then fizzles. The husband's jealousy of his wife's profession and fame quickly becomes tiresome. His character doesn't develop. He even gets involved in an acting group, but seems to learn nothing about what is make-believe and what is real. By the end of the story I was hoping that Charlotte would realize what a close-minded schmuck she had married. There's a patched-together ending that doesn't solve the basic problem between these two. Also, a circumcision subplot seems to belong in another movie. The best feature of this movie is Terence Stamp, who is terrific as a slightly windy yet seductive old English actor.

thegreifs after friends sang the praises of this film..i ran out to catch it..it was too long,heavy handed..yes,there were a few good scenes,notably the nude film shoot..but the sister and husband were so very boring..instead of a circumcision plan i wanted to cut there heads off..terrance stamp, handsome..but he did not give his part and chemistry..
