Movie Review

MY WIFE IS AN ACTRESS (2002)

EW's GRADE
B+

Details Limited Release: Jul 12, 2002; Rated: R; Length: 93 Minutes; Genres: Comedy, Foreign Language, Romance; With: Yvan Attal and Charlotte Gainsbourg; Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics

Yvan Attal directs his real-life wife, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and costars with her, too, in a clever peekaboo comedy about ''Yvan'' and ''Charlotte,'' a less-than-famous husband struggling with his wife's movie-star celebrity. With every detail in this feisty and self-aware first feature, the filmmaker dangles the possibility that fiction is fact and that Yvan and Charlotte are real -- or at least as real as the movies.
