15Enjoy Mikella G.'s interview with Alba Baptista about Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris. The Portuguese born Ms. Baptista is known for her work on Warrior Nun, Fatima, Patrick and many more. She has a leading role playing Natasha opposite Isabelle Huppert and Lesley Manville in the feature film Mrs Harris Goes To Paris.
Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is an exciting fashionable adventure. It's comedic and moving at the same time, and is definitely entertaining.
Based on the 1958 book by Paul Gallico, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is set in the 1950s and follows Mrs. Harris (Lesley Manville), a widowed cleaning lady from London who feels very lost after the recent death of her husband. She seems to be struggling with what to do next, but realizes that when she listens to heart, her husband is leading her in the right direction. With hard work and a little luck, Mrs. Harris is able to save up and take a trip to Paris to come in contact with her real dream -- a Christian Dior couture gown. While visiting the House of Dior, she realizes the true importance of Dior and helps others acknowledge this along the way.
This film really taps into the 1950s era with sets, costumes and locations that fit the decade. The film takes into account all the events happening at the time and incorporates them into the storyline. For example, the war had just ended and that is referred to multiple times, and woven into the story. There was also a strike in Paris going on that led to dirty streets, which we see in the film. In so many ways, the film is so true to the era and you see it in a multitude of details. I really enjoyed seeing how fashion is incorporated into the movie. Since the storyline revolves around a major fashion designer, Christian Dior, and his brand, we see how that affected society across from many socio-economic backgrounds. There is a lot of fashion history included in the film, which is especially interesting to me, since I love fashion. I enjoyed how each character's wardrobe is so outstanding and typical of the 1950s.
The message of Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris is to always follow your heart, and stick up for what you believe in.
I give Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris opens in theaters July 15, 2022. https://youtu.be/kXeW97-PmRI
