MY AFTERNOONS WITH MARGUERITTE (2010) A+

French, subtitles

 Wonderful, wonderful movie about the love relationships between REAL people in a town somewhere . . . anywhere in France. The main theme revolves around a 50 year old grungy guy and a 90-ish old women who meet regularly in a park in the afternoon. This special and caring man, played by the famous French actor Gerard Depardieu, has been considered the town fool ever since he was treated as a very slow learner by his teachers and was generally unloved by his mother. 

He grows in self confidence with the help of an older women which allows the movie to end with everyone living happily-ever-after. Don't miss it . . . especially if any time in your life people did not consider you the brightest or prettiest kid on the block.
