My Afternoons with Margueritte
(La Tête en Friche)
2010
by Jean Becker, with Gérard Depardieu
My Afternoons with Margueritte is the story of life's random encounters. In a small French town, Germain, a nearly illiterate man in his 50's meets Margueritte, a little old lady who is articulate, highly intelligent and frail. Between Germain and Margueritte, there are 40 years and 200 pounds difference. Germain is lured by Margueritte's passion for life and the magic of literature from which he has always felt excluded.
