The Very Merry Widows
The Very Merry Widows is a 2003 Franco-Belgian black comedy film directed and co-written by Catherine Corsini.
Plot
Renée (Jane Birkin) is a wealthy widow several times over. When her orphaned granddaughter Laurence (Émilie Dequenne) turns up looking for a place to stay, she gives the naïve young woman some instruction on marriage to the rich and terminal as a means of self-enrichment. After trying a couple of local men, Laurence sets her sights on the insurance agent investigating her grandmother's latest loss, Thomas (Jérémie Elkaïm). Renée herself, on the other hand, finds herself falling in love: with Maurice (Pierre Richard).
