THE VILLAGE PLEASURE

La douceur du village

Directed by François Reichenbach
France, 1963
Documentary

Synopsis

Or, how to become a Frenchman in a few lessons. It’s the essence of cinéma vérité, combining an essayistic approach with an effort to capture raw reality in all its truth, but at the same time, we’re watching a documentary version of The Firemen’s Ball in the French countryside.
