Music Box Films has debuted the full US trailer for romantic dramedy Gemma Bovery, starring Gemma Arterton in her second adaptation of a Posy Simmonds graphic novel after 2010’s Tamara Drewe.
When British beauty Gemma Bovery (Arterton) and her furniture restorer husband move to a charming old farmhouse in the same Norman village where Flaubert’s literary classic “Madame Bovary” was written a century earlier, a local baker and Flaubert expert becomes entranced with Gemma and sets out to be her guide and mentor to her new surroundings. As reality sets in on rural French domesticity, the Boverys’ marriage begins to fray and Gemma finds herself catching the eye of a young playboy. She finds herself seemingly fulfilling fears that her destiny is linked to that of Flaubert’s doomed heroine.
Directed by Anne FontJason (Coco Before Chanel), Gemma Bovery co-stars Jason Flemyng, Fabrice Luchini, Isabelle Candelier and Niels Schneider, and will receive a limited theatrical release on May 29.
