The Grocer's Son

[Renz]

When his father suffers a heart attack, 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.

Great film. Marvelous window into French country life. Many of the "old folks" in the film are villagers that the director met while scouting locations. Wonderful performances by the leads as well.

I recently watched it. Nice story. At certain times it seemed like scenes were deleted or something, but overall a decent show.

The doesn't surprise me at all. Those villagers seemed extremely authentic.
