Coming soon to DVD:

In a small French town, Germain (Gérard Depardieu), a nearly illiterate man in his 50s and considered to be the village idiot, takes a walk to the park one day and happens to sit beside Margueritte, a little old lady who is reading excerpts from her novel aloud. She's articulate, highly intelligent and frail. Germain is lured by Margueritte's passion for life and the magic of literature from which he has always felt excluded. As Margueritte broadens his mind via reading excerpts from her novel, Germain realizes that he is more of an intellectual than he has ever allowed himself to be. Afternoons spent reading aloud on their favorite bench transform their lives and start them both on a new journey—to literacy and respect for Germain, and to the deepest friendship for Margueritte

Adapted from Marie-Sabine Roger's novel La tête en friche and serving up an authentic slice of provincial French life, MY AFTERNOONS WITH MARGUERITTE is a touching and enriching film that is refreshing in its focus on protagonists older than what we have become accustomed to seeing on the big screen. In this universal and unaffected tale, director Jean Becker's (CONVERSATIONS WITH MY GARDENER) odd couple will capture audiences' hearts from the word allez.
