SHOPGIRLS
SYNOPSIS
Based on Steve Martin’s bestselling novella,
“Shopgirl” is a funny and poignant story of love
in the modern age. The film catches a glimpse
inside the lives of three very different people on
diverse paths, but all in search of the same
thing. Mirabelle (CLAIRE DANES) is a “plain
jane” overseeing the rarely frequented glove
counter at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills.
An artist struggling to keep up with even the
minimum payment on her credit card and
student loans, she keeps to herself until a rich,
handsome fifty something named Ray Porter
(STEVE MARTIN) sweeps her off her feet.
Simultaneously, Mirabelle is being pursued by
Jeremy (JASON SCHWARTZMAN), a basic
bachelor who’s not quite as cultured and
successful as Ray. When fate steps in, the
outcome may not always be a storybook
ending, because in the end… it was life.--
