Product Description

A warm, bittersweet comedy The Grocer s Son markets the feature debut of acclaimed documentary filmmaker Eric Guirado, and new acting talent Nicolas Cazale. Thirty-year-old Antoine leaves Paris and reluctantly returns to the south of France to look after the family mobile grocery van while his father recovers from a heart attack. He gradually warms to his experience in the hills and his encounters with the villagers and love for the countryside. Evocatively capturing the bucolic beauty of provincial France, this gentle feel-good charmer sparkles with quirky humour and joie de vivre and guarantees to warm hearts with its classic story of a man finally coming of age.


Synopsis

Antoine is a thirtysomething Parisian who leaves the city behind to travel to the South of France in order to look after the family grocery van, while his father recovers from a heart attack. Apprehensive of his surroundings at first, Antoine soon discovers what has been missing from his life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful,wonderful, 8 Jul 2009
This a stunning movie. The kind that only the French seem able to make. There isn't a dud performance in the entire film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely delightful film, 12 Sep 2009
By Pay it forward (HERTS, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This is what I would call a Sunday afternoon film. Just dial down, stick on the movie and you'll really enjoy the enfolding story. It has some occasional really funny moments that sneak up on you and is really quite moving at times as you watch le fils de l'épicier gradually warm to his customers. I am so glad to own a copy of this film. I am sure I will watch it many more times. Definitely worth getting hold of. Buy it and see.
