  1. MY AFTERNOONS WITH MARGUERITTE
  1. (LA TÊTE EN FRICHE)
  2. 2010, Jean Becker, France, 80 min.
  3. With Gérard Depardieu, Gisèle Casadesus

“A lovely movie.”
—Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

“A feel-good crowd pleaser…the chemistry between Depardieu and Casadesus makes up for any faults.”
—V.A. Musetto, New York Post

Charismatic French star Depardieu never fails to charm, bringing an out-sized personality to any role. In this touching story, adapted from the novel La Tête en Friche by Marie-Sabine Roger, he is Germaine, an ungainly near-illiterate working man who, lounging on a park bench one day, meets Margueritte, a frail, sprightly elder lady of sharp mind and lively curiosity. Loneliness and a matching zest for life make the foundation for friendship, and scoping Germaine out with uncanny accuracy, Margueritte offers the gift that will change his life. In French with English subtitles. 35mm widescreen. (BS)
