Netflix announced today the global premiere date for French biopic Madame Claude and released a trailer for the film.
Set in 1960s Paris, Madame Claude stars César Awards nominee Karole Rocher (Braquo, Polisse) as the eponymous brothel owner née Fernande Grudet.
After working as a prostitute, she fashions herself as Madame Claude and establishes her exclusive brothel business, which caters to the wealthy, the influential, and the powerful. Amongst her clientele are heads of state, business tycoons, award-winning actors, and members France’s secret service and intelligence organizations — for whom she also serves as an informant. As such, her influence extends far beyond the world of sex work.
But then an affluent young woman threatens to change everything.
