This little French gem of a comedy, is what you get if you combine The Devil Wears Prada and The Office (American): there are slightly sadistic bosses, demanding clients which are impossible to please and tasks for assistants that border on mission impossible but have to be on someone's desk by the end of the next day. Fanny Herrero creared a brilliant narrative with enough chemistry between the characters to keep your attention all the time, the humor isn't cheap or vulgar as it tends to be too often in Hollywood these days, and we get to see why there's such a big difference between European and American cinema. The episode with Juliette Binoche embarassing herself in Cannes shows a comedic side of her that one rarely gets to see, and it's driven home in the scene where she's sharing a pizza in her hotel room with her bodyguard. Already in a sweatshirt, but she forgot to take the diamonds off, while he asks what kind of movies she's been in. This brilliant clash of celebrities and those that make their careers happen is one of the numerous reasons to see Call My Agent. And there's even a dog called Jean Gabin.
