The film is about Mathias Gold (Kevin Kline), a down-on-his-luck New Yorker who inherits a
Parisian apartment from his estranged father. But when he arrives in France to sell the vast domicile, he’s shocked to discover his apartment is a viager – an ancient French real estate system with complex rules pertaining to its resale – complete with a feisty Englishwoman Mathilde Girard (Maggie Smith), who has lived in the apartment with her daughter Chloé (Kristin Scott Thomas) for many years and can by contract collect monthly payments from Mathias until her death. Fans of Kline (“French Kiss”, “A Fish Called Wanda”), Smith (“Downton Abbey”, “Gosford Park”) and Thomas (“Love Crime”, “The English Patient”) will love this charming comedy. With Jane Birkin and Dominique Pinon.

So come see “My Old Lady” at The Grand on Tuesday March 24th at 7:30 pm and see the film that Stephen Holden of The New York Times proclaims has “perky music and a suave, light-footed entrance by Kevin Kline as an American in Paris...“
