Reviews
Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
mtoumba He stands in front of the camera and watches quietly. His long hair is moving in the rough winds of the French mountains. The face is shaped from hard work and intensive "Gitanes"-consumption. "Why are you wearing your hair like that? Are your becoming a rebel now?", the filmmaker asks out of the off. "Oui", the man answers and smiles – the live of the farmers does without big words. And it is true, this movie shows rebels. They hold on to a way of life, that has already vanished.In the second part of his trilogy about the rural areas of Lozère, Ardèche and Haute-Loire filmmaker Raymond Depardon is searching for everyday life between hay making, dying and founding families. In the movie he never conceals the presence of himself or the camera. A refreshing unsentimental portrait with rough edges. It was even edited this way. Documentary purists and fans of "la France" get their money's worth
