Birnenkuchen mit Lavendel

A Wonderful movie. Truly sensitive. The actors can express emotions very well.

Filled with the wonders of Nature, and great cinematography of the Rhone/Alpes region of France. Beautiful story, also, about the wonders of the human mind and of altruistic Love. Sooo refreshing, compared to typical Hollywood fare. . . .

What an unexpected surprise. Beautiful use of natural light, perfect composition, brilliant performances, rich and clever storytelling, and flawless continuity and editing, all of which didn't occur to me until the film was over and I had time to think about it. The best hour and thirty-eight minutes I've spent doing anything in a long time.

Viginie Efira's husband died doing a dangerous sport. Now with two children and an in- debt pear farm she meets Benjamin Lavernhe who is trying to escape from a state official trying to analyze his danger to the state. He has hacked into some high level documents. When hit by Virginie's car, Benjamin goes home with her and discovers he loves her, her children, and the farm. He is good looking, honest, and the children find him very appealing. Benjamin does get analyzed and decides he wants to live with Virginie. His sense of wonder has captured the family. Since autism and all levels on the spectrum are everywhere, this story is completely relevant. Of course people on the spectrum will fall in love and finally feel it is where they belong. Sense of Wonder shows how an open heart and mind can inspire hope and changes.

Some film catch you from the first scene! Le goût des merveilles is that kind of film! It deals with a lot of subjects from social gathering, agriculture and love. I was relief and fresh when I came out from the theater! It's absolutely a delight for people who is looking for a feel good movie. Every artists performed very cleverly their role and they need o special standing ovation. In this magnum opus the director, the screen writer, cameraman and the editor have done a matured job. I must felicitated the main male and female lead. You'll know the reason when you'll come back after watching this beautiful drama!

Once again, hats off to the whole team!

Way to go...
