Conversation with My Gardener
AroView: A leisurely mateship comedy about a jilted artist (Daniel Auteuil) who retreats to his remote country home, forging a mid-life bond with a local gardener (Jean-Pierre Darrousin) post-divorce.
Quintessentially French, the veteran actors satisfy in a series of warm, laid back exchanges which imbue the film with a ‘lazy Sunday’ texture, despite some deeper meditations on the nature of friendship and male inadequacy. Like the garden the pair frequent and tender, Becker’s film is likely to grow on those who take pleasure in good company and conversation.
