Reviews:

Amber Wilkinson, Eye for Film: "Sweet-centred and unashamedly sentimental, La tête en friche is a warm and generous film."

Tim Evans, Sky Films: "Adapted from Marie-Sabine Roger's novel, this is a modest heartwarmer enlivened by subtle performances and a colourful supporting cast."

Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall: "Small but perfectly formed, this unassuming French comedy is smart, emotionally engaging and often very funny."

La tête en friche / My Afternoons with Margueritte

Genre: Comedy

La tête en friche is a story of one of those improbable encounters that can change the course of one's life: the encounter, in a small public garden, between Germain (Depardieu), fifty and barely literate, and Margueritte (Casadesus), a little old lady passionate about reading. One day, purely by chance, Germain sits beside Margueritte, who begins to read aloud extracts from novels for him to discover the magic of books, from which Germain imagined he was excluded for life. But Margueritte is losing her sight. Germain will show her that he's capable of reading aloud to her when she is no longer able to do so herself.
