You need Blu-Ray DVD player to view this Blu-Ray DVD: LANGUAGES: French ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), French ( Dolby DTS-HD Master Audio ), English ( Subtitles ), ANAMORPHIC WIDESCREEN (2.35:1), SPECIAL FEATURES: Anamorphic Widescreen, Interactive Menu, Scene Access, SYNOPSIS: Drearily sentimental, Jean Becker's 'My Afternoons With Margueritte" is the chaste love story between a genial, unlettered lug of a working man (G rard Depardieu in unflattering blue overalls) and an older woman he meets on a park bench in a town in the Charente-Maritime region of France. She reads to him (Camus, Romain Gary). He blossoms. In melodramatic flashbacks we learn that the man, Germain, was berated in school for being slow. But that's nothing compared to the treatment he receives at the hands of his mother (Anne Le Guernec; Claire Maurier plays the still-merciless character in the present), who spares no opportunity to remind him that he's an unwanted oaf. Attacking a boyfriend with a pitchfork, she's every inch the bad mama. Years later, enter the good mother, the gentle, lovely Margueritte (G� rard Depardieu), who seems to be the only person; besides his improbably young and pretty girlfriend (Sophie Guillemin); to see something special in Germain. How could he not be attracted to Margueritte, whom he compares to the glass figurines he spots in a store window? The fine-boned, delicate-looking Ms. Casadesus, now 97, is a pleasure to watch (and to listen to). And the not-delicate-looking Mr. Depardieu does his usual excellent job. But their scenes together, if sweet enough, aren't particularly convincing or moving. Which is the problem in general with this film, which was shot in slightly garish color that lends everything an unpleasant cast: It rarely rises above ...My Afternoons with Margueritte (2010) ( La t te en friche )

My Afternoons with Margueritte [Blu-ray] Review

Gerard Depardieu is back...and this time in a sensitive, enchanting film about the beauty of a friendship between a nearly illiterate man and an elderly woman with a deep affection for books. Sitting on a park bench watching the pigeons play and interact, the woman - elegant, wise, but going blind - senses the honest heart of the man beside her, the character played by Depardieu. She warms up to him and vice versa. They end up loving each other, but not in the conventional way. She reads books aloud to him and finds out that he is an especially good listener.

It's not just about the love of books, it's about the love of loves. In an age where too many movies celebrate violence and sex, this is a gentle change of pace. And let me add that Giselle Casadesus - who plays the lead character - is a sensation.
