Rossy De Palma is one of Pedro Almodovar's muse, she had appeared in at least 7 of his films. Her personality and look becomes her signature, which gives a sophisticated humor to which project she appears.

In the film Madame, she is one of the main roles opposite Tony Collette and Harvey Keitel. The film tells the story of an American couple Anne (Collette) and Bob (Keitel) who are hosting a dinner party with twelve friends. Bob's son arrived unexpectedly and Anne needs to make arrangements for another guest since she is very superstitious. Maria (De Palma) is Anne and Bob maid, is asked to be the guest number 14, she needs to pretend to be a rich Spanish woman. During dinner, Mari meet David and British aristocrat and a relationship is developed really quickly.

For Anne and Bob is a complicated issue. Maria, it's been with the family for a long time and is need it. But on the other hand, they need to keep David which is an economic interest for the family.

Amanda Sthers directs a light comedy that becomes forgettable, with a weak script a powerful group of actors cannot save this movie. The film is fun to watch but end up boring with no happy ending.
