Savoy Theater
The rolling countryside of Provence may be a dream vacation spot, but it is the last place in the world that Antoine, the sullen 30-year-old protagonist of this film, would like to be. In this French variation of the fable of the prodigal son, Antoine reluctantly returns to his rural hometown after 10 years in the big city when his father has a heart attack. While his mother has minded the family’s grocery store, his father has operated a van selling produce and staples to the area’s mostly elderly inhabitants. “This small gem of a film, a surprise hit in France, is directed by Éric Guirado, who prepared for it by filming portraits of traveling tradesmen in southern and central France.” (Stephen Holden, The New York Times) 96 minutes, in French with subtitles.
