La tête en friche [My Afternoons with Margueritte] (2010)


Gérard Depardieu dons a fat suit in thi—wait a minute, nope. No. That’s all him. Here he plays an illiterate man who meets an old woman in the park whom he develops a special friendship with... She reads to him every day while he listens. I was expecting Harold & Maude, but instead got Forrest Gump. It's a gentle, soft-spoken story that is moving at times, but feels much too uneven to thoroughly recommend.

I like Depardieu's French stuff.
Hate his English language stuff.
