Profils paysans: Le quotidien
Raymond Depardon: Humanity in Focus
February 20 - March 4
Raymond Depardon depicts the hardships of the modern farmer with empathy and a wry knowingness of the changing times in this moving follow-up to 2000’s Profils paysans: L’approche. Followed by Quoi de neuf au Garet?
Following up 2000’s Profils paysans: L’approche, Raymond Depardon reunites with the surviving subjects of that film in this moving chronicle of time’s passage and the trials and tribulations known by farmers in southern France. Since L’approche, some have passed away, others are growing increasingly elderly, and still more younger people are arriving on the scene, moving into vacation homes and trying their hand at recreational farming. As with this trilogy’s previous installment, Depardon here depicts the hardships of the modern farmer with empathy but also a wry knowingness regarding the changing of the times.
Followed by:
