My Afternoons with Margueritte 2011


Product Details     A lonely man in his 50’s living in the small French town of Germain meets a very pleasant woman in her 90’s on a park bench.  She reads a lot and he’s not very good at reading, she begins to open up words and books to his life.   She has a passion and appreciation for literature but he has always felt excluded from this type of life.  They establish a deep friendship that starts them both on a new journey.
     A wonderful idea but this comes across as dull and boring, not worth the time to finish.  Margueritte is very pleasant but the same cannot be said for Germain.  I am always willing to believe that a very large old man is with an attractive young woman!!  Not!!  2* (I didn’t like this movie)

82 min, Drama directed by Jean Becker with Gerard Depardieu, Gisele Casadesus, Mauane, Patrick Bouchitey, Jean-Francis Stevenin, Francois-Xavier Demaison.

Note:  Imdb 7.1 out of 10, 84% critic 77% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
