A woman finds her personality taking an abrupt about-face in this comedy-drama from France. Irene (Nathalie Richard) is a bank executive who enforces fiduciary regulations with a ruthless, to-the-letter strictness. Irene notices a homeless woman wandering around Paris in a yellow raincoat; one day, while walking home from a party, the same woman attacks Irene, and she falls unconscious for 48 hours. Once she's recovered a few days later, Irene learns that the woman who attacked her was stabbed to death in the park; curious about this turn of events, Irene goes to the morgue to see the body, where she bumps into Rosa (Valerie Mairesse), a bohemian who has a small apartment overlooking the park and who occasionally checks on unidentified bodies in hopes of finding her missing sister. Since the mugging, Irene hasn't been able to relate to her husband and children, and she decides to move in with Rosa, embracing her carefree lifestyle. Confort Moderne also stars Jean-Jacques Vanier as Irene's husband Alain and Jean-Michel Noirey as Murat. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
