Movie #14 is "The Grocer's Son," is a very universal film (see plot below) dealing with universal feelings I had when I was growing up about duty to family, stubborn dads, giving moms, how important educatiion is, service to others, etc. I found it very universal, and the elderly people he befriends with the mobile store really grow on the audience as they do on him. It's in French and very lowkey. A slice of family life.
The Grocer's SonLe Fils de l'épicier(2007) When his father suffers a stroke, Antoine (Nicolas Cazale) reluctantly returns home from the big city to his small mountain village to help out with the family business, a grocery that makes daily rounds to the town's elderly inhabitants. But when Antoine's poor manners rub the villagers the wrong way, can the lovely young Claire (Clotilde Hesme) help smooth things over? French director Eric Guirado helms this charmingly low-key film.
