Conversations with My Gardener

After turning fifty, a Parisian painter (Daniel Auteuil) decides to return to his roots and move back into his childhood home in the center of France; the gardener he hires (Jean-Pierre Daroussin) turns out to be a schoolmate he hasn’t seen in decades. The Hollywood Reporter called it “a tender, low-key comedy that makes for an intimate, rewarding excursion to the French countryside.” Rick Winston will introduce the film and lead a post-film discussion. The film was shown at the 2009 Green Mountain Film Festival, never received distribution in the United States, so this a rare chance to see it. Admission $5-$10.
