On the picturesque island of Corsica, Helene (Sandrine Bonnaire) leads a regimented life as a hotel maid while her husband, Ange (Francis Renaud), runs the local boatyard and their daughter attends high school. When Helene sees a mysterious American guest (Jennifer Beals) playing chess with a companion, she\u2019s immediately hooked on the game but it falls to reclusive expat Dr. Kroeger (Kevin Kline) to hone her natural talent and focus her new-found confidence for match play. The chemistry between the soulfully expressive Bonnaire and Kline\u2019s whimsical crankiness is palpable and exquisite. Queen to Play won a John Schlesinger Award honorable mention citation at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. \u2014 Eddie Cockrell<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":59689,"menu_order":0,"template":"","app_discipline":[219],"app_city_tax":[226],"app_event_type":[239],"class_list":["post-59691","app_event","type-app_event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","app_discipline-cinema","app_city_tax-dc","app_event_type-film"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Filmfest DC Series: Queen to Play (Joueuse) - Villa Albertine<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/villa-albertine.org\/va\/events\/french-film-evenings-queen-play\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Filmfest DC Series: Queen to Play (Joueuse) - Villa Albertine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"For 36 years, the Washington, DC International Film Festival has brought us the best of world cinema, featuring many new and exciting films from around the globe.
