Villa des Roses is a 2002 film by Frank Van Passel, adapted from the 1913 novella by Belgian writer Willem Elsschot and starring Julie Delpy, Shaun Dingwall, Shirley Henderson, Timothy West and Harriet Walter. It won Best Feature at the Hollywood Film Festival and was nominated for three awards at the British Independent Film Awards.[1]

Delpy plays Louise, a young widow who starts work just before the First World War as a maid at the dilapidated Villa des Roses, an English-owned guest house in Paris, where she falls in love with a German artist played by Dingwall.[2]
