The Grocer's Son was a wonderful trip through a small French village. I enjoyed the movie very much. It felt as if I was also a local villager. I love the transformation of the main character from a self-centered egotist to someone who genuinely cares for the villagers along his route.
There were many nice things that Antoine does for the older customers that make their lives more bearable, from repairing the chicken coupe, to carrying groceries to the home of a woman recently released from the hospital to extending credit and giving rides. Antoine comes full circle and is rewarded in the end with the return of Claire.
Great story and great film-making!
