Queen to Play (original title Joueuse, the feminine form of “player”) is a 2009 French-German film directed by Caroline Bottaro.

It is based on the novel La Joueuse d’échecs by Bertina Henrichs.

The film stars Sandrine Bonnaire as a French chambermaid on the island of Corsica.

She has been cleaning the house of an American doctor (played by Kevin Kline in his first French-speaking role), and he begins helping her practice and improve.

She must deal with her growing fascination with the game and with her husband and teenaged daughter.
