A solid foreign film about selflessness. Great acting and a catchy soundtrack.
I liked parts of it but I've seen this story in at least half a dozen French films before and there were no surprises here.
A vwery sweet film. Nicolas Cazale was great and not bad to look at either. :)
A very endearing story about a man that comes home and finally makes peace with his life and understands what has kept his family going in the grocery business.
a french movie about a son of a family that has a store in a small french town and how they travel around in the area delivering groceries to people, it is a sweet movie not a lot happening but great photography in it,
I saw this during the "Rendevous with French Cinema" film festival in manhattan, and was very surprised by it. The scenery was beautiful and the acting was quite good. Worth seeing more than once, surely.
The Grocer's Son offers a nicely observed portrait of a man in search of himself, finding his purpose, and finding that, in fact, it is possible to go home again. full review
You can probably guess the trajectory of the story. But it's not really the destination that makes this a charmer, it's the journey there, mostly by grocery van. full review
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Le fils de l'épicier (The Grocer's Son)" !
