The Grocer's Son

OK, I am back to this great blog. Sorry, it hasn't been as often as I like. Trust me, I am still watching a ton of movies. A movie I literally just finished watching on Netflix instant play is titled The Grocer's Son. It is a french foreign movie and has a good cast. I am not familiar with any of the actors but they all seem to play their parts well.

This independent movie is just about a family that has problems and upon the father having a heart attack, the son comes back and they basically come to terms and get closer. I recommend it if you are in the mood for a slow paced but realistic portrayal of the french countryside. Cheers!

From Netflix:

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.
