Antoinette in the Cévennes
AroView: A delightful, sure-footed French comedy about the folly of obsessive love, starring Laure Calamy as Antoinette, a schoolteacher who decides it’s a good idea to follow her married lover and his family on a holiday tramp.
Following the journey made famous by Robert Louis Stevenson in his book ‘Travels with a Donkey in the Cevennes’, Calamy’s considerable charms are almost upstaged by what must be one of the great performances ever from a donkey.
“As a tale of a woman finding herself - and finding out how to truly survive and thrive in her own skin - Antoinette in the Cévennes is both thoughtful and charming.” ~Sarah Ward, Concrete Playground
