Au nom de la terre

I hated this film. I really don't understand why anybody would choose to watch such a dismal story. I saw it in a sneak- preview and would have left the cinema if I could have without disturbing others. Veerle Baetens was wonderful.

French countryside is often represented in the cinema and especially foreign films in an idyllic setting. The landscapes are beautiful but farmers lives are extremely difficult. This movie depicts the reality of a small family farm which is the norm in France. Sad but true.

Is a movie that touches my heart, so real and inspiring.when i saw it I could place my life there , ant think how hard is to reach our dreams and how fast they can finish , the farmers life is so hard but is so great to live it , God leave everything under control and He wants us to enjoy all He have created , life go so fast and we have to live it the best !! Doing the best for others !! Our family is a great gift and we have to love them and fight for them ! I want to see the movie again but I can't find it !! I don't understand how a beautiful movie is so hard to find!! Good actors good director !!!

Not only a story about farmers conditions but also about passionated people facing burn out...

I saw this at a one off showing at the Glasgow Film Festival. Beautifully made and played by a great cast, it was so quietly powerful. A good role model on social comment in movies as there was no self righteous lecturing from the director and it was all the more effective for that. Please do see. Oh, and the music was great and appropriately used.
