Appearances reign at a dinner party; you dress up, laugh, tell stories, pose,share yourmemories and friends. Anxiety is masked behind humor and pain is hushed by bursts of laughter. And after a few hours, you’re in! That’s all that counts. If you have the right codes, respect the other guests, cordiality, hypocrisy and high spirits, there’s a chance it’ll be a good evening… But the masks slip on the way home.

| Thompson, Daniele Danièle Thompson (born 1942, Monaco)
Danièle was just twenty when her father, Gérard Oury, asked her to be his screenwriting assistant. Her writing career began with La grande vardouille (1966), and continued with The Brain (1968), Delusions of Grandeur (1974) and The Mad Aventures of Rabbi Jacob (1970). While continuing to work regularly with her father (La Carapate,Le Coup de parapluie, Ace of Aces, Levy and Goliath), she became one of France's most sought-after screenwriters, working with directors such as Jean-Charles Tachella, Cousin, Cousine (1975, nominated for the Oscar for Best Screenplay); Claude Pinoteau, La Boum (1980), La Boum 2 (1982), L’Etudiante (1988) and La Neige et le Feu (1989); Elie Chouraqui, The Groundhogs (1992); Patrice Chéreau, Queen Margot (1993) and Those Who Love Me Will Take the Train (1996); Alain Berbérian, Paparazzi (1997) and Gabriel Aghion, Beautiful Mother (1999). Several of these films proved to be among France's biggest hits. For a long time, Thompson had no desire to direct. Then, the idea for La Buche (Season's Beatings), her first film, came along. The film met with considerable commercial success and was nominated for several Cesar Awards in 2000, one of which - Best Supporting Actress - was awarded to Charlotte Gainsbourg. In 2003, her second feature, Jet Lag starring Juliette Binoche and Jean Réno, was also a major hit with audiences. In 2006, she directed a new comedy, Fauteuils d'orchestre (Orchestra Seats).
