Plot
Set in 1958-1959, Populaire focuses on Rose Pamphyle (DÃÆ' Â| borah FranÃÆ'§ois), who lives with her widowed father and is destined to marry a son of a local mechanic. Rose traveled out of town and applied for secretarial work with an insurance agent run by Louis ÃÆ'â € chard (Romain Duris). Louis knows that Rose can type at incredible speeds - using only two fingers - and he tells him to compete in a speed typing competition if he wants the job.
While Rose made the final, he eventually lost his first typing competition. Louis began to train Rose to be the fastest typist in the world. He made a bet with his best friend, Bob Taylor - who married his old lover Marie - that Rose can win regional competition.
Louis begins to train Rose at home, but he sets strict rules to prevent others from knowing that Rose lives in his childhood bedroom. He started teaching him typing with ten fingers and Louis insisted he take piano lessons (taught by Marie) to strengthen his fingers. As he struggled to learn typing with ten fingers, Louis pushed it, colored the key on his typewriter and taught his better posture. As the season changed, he excelled and Louis and Rose became close friends.
Rose won the second typing competition, becoming the fastest in her home territory, Lower Normandy. It became clear to Louis's friends that Louis and Rose were romantically attracted to each other, but Louis insisted that a coach should not distract his students. They traveled together to Paris and the night before the French national competition, Louis and Rose announced their love for each other and had sex.
Competing against the current national champions, Rose manages to reach the final, but struggles under pressure. Before his last game, Louis told Rose that he had lied and that he had secretly recorded that his typing speed was regularly faster than his opponent's best record. Angered by his lies, Rose is desperate to win. Rose was very happy when she won and made Louis smile broadly from the stage. After initial excitement, Louis began to feel inadequate for a rather ambiguous reason. He left it and their training sessions.
Rose remained in Paris and became a French celebrity, supported by the main typist company and started using their latest typewriter. He never forgets Louis and calls him regularly, though Louis never answers the phone. Louis tried to continue, but generally felt depressed and felt inadequate. Rose starts moving and immediately in New York at a world typing competition.
When Rose starts a world competition in New York, Louis struggles with his own feelings. She reaches out to Marie and asks why she chose Bob on it. She said she did not: Louis chose to be second place. Louis explains that he can never give Rose the smile and happiness he had when he won in Paris - the same smile he saw on Marie on his wedding day with Bob. Marie said, "I smile because I feel loved."
Louis realized that he had to overcome feelings of inadequacy and fly to New York to support Rose in an international typing competition. He arrived just before the second round finals ended. When the jury announced the result, Rose left behind and fought. He ran backstage to retrieve his old typewriter, and Louis confronted him and declared his love. They kissed.
Rose climbed onto the stage for the last round - seemed eager by love. He races ahead of the final game. About halfway through, the typewriter stalled. He's too fast for a typewriter. He quickly recovered and raced ahead again, winning the competition to become the World's Fastest Ruler. Louis walked on stage and kissed her, ending the movie in two holding hands and cheering spectators.

Casting
Roinsard plans to cast an unknown actress in the main role of Rose Pamphyle, but chose Belgian actress DÃÆ' Â| Borah FranÃÆ'§ois after she impressed him in her audition. After asking his father to find a typewriter for him, FranÃÆ'§ois practiced for a week before the audition. He told Georgia Dehn of The Daily Telegraph, "I was very fast in the audition that everyone watched ask me if I had done much before.Of course I did not admit to practice I told them, â € "I'm really motivated, I really want that part, I'm ready for the competition." François believes he's connected to Rose as he finishes reading his script He loves Rose's awkwardness and thinks he's a bit like himself FranÃÆ'§ois goes through six months of professional typing training before the filming starts.He has to practice up to three hours every day.The actress explained that because they want to be real, nothing is accelerated in the movie and her hand is shown in every scene.
Romain Duris served as Louis ÃÆ' â € ° chard. Duris was initially concerned about whether costumes and styles would take over which caused the film to get stuck in the past. He said he needed a movie to feel real and living. The actor watched several films starring Cary Grant and James Stewart as well as French classics directed by Marcel Carnà ©  © and Claude Chabrol to see the differences between the provinces and Paris and the way people behaved and spoke in the 1950s.
Costume design
Charlotte David costume designer created and designed many clothes for the film. David previously made a costume for OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies, which was also installed in France in the fifties. Laure Guilbault of Women's Wear Daily reports that the Populaire was inspired by Cute Facial , The Seven Year Itch the film Alfred Hitchcock. François revealed that he gave his own input to the costume, saying "I like being involved in costume making, I can say that this suspender should be thinner, or this skirt should be worn with extra skirts, or have an added bow." David thought the lingerie precisely very important for visible and pointed bras, belts and corsets used to support silhouettes. Some lingerie is made by Paris Cadolle's home corset.
Since Rose is "a young provincial lady", she often wears pretty dresses, while Bejo, Marie, who is married to an American man, has a relaxed early 1960s look. David explained that he wanted her to be a modern woman and he found the printed fabrics for his costume at De Gilles, a fabric shop in Paris, which he used to make shorts. She then completed the look with a silk knit shirt, ballet shoes, headband and tight cardigan. Lelia Delval, hairdresser for Populaire , gave Bejo a red wig to wear, which the actress liked, she dyeing her real hair for the next film. Men wear suits and tie clips. Duris character, Louis, watch vintage Jaeger-LeCoultre.

JÃÆ' Â © rÃÆ'Â'me Vermelin from Metro France commented "Full of charm, the first film by the young director RÃÆ' Â © gis Roinsard was brought by an irresistible duo of Romain Duris and Deborah FranÃÆ'§ois." Liz Beardsworth from Empire gave three stars and wrote "Roinsard keeps control of a movie that squirts between more serious social and fun comments and cleverly uses subplots and supporting characters (including The Artist's BÃÆ' Â © rÃÆ' Â © nice Bejo) to touch the heavier theme. Strange, but charming. "
IndieWire's Kaleem Aftab presents the B-movie and states "With great players and enough laughter, Populaire can find international audiences, but it's not Amelie." The orthodox scripts will not expand the appeal outside the dedicated romcom market and language barriers may also be a problem for some people. "Boyd van Hoeij, writing for Variety , said the film was" a colorful and flawless romantic comedy capable of changing typing competition fast in the 1950s into entertaining cinematic food. " He goes on to praise the show Duris and FranÃÆ'§ois, but considers his story not quite turns unexpectedly or reveals a deeper emotion.
