In the month of February, watch two César award winning french films with English subtitles for free. Open to all.
1. Petit Paysan: A French drama directed by Hubert Charuel, 2017.
Pierre, a thirty-five-year-old dairy farmer, has taken over his parents’farm and devotes twenty-four hours a day to his cows. They are all for him so when an epidemic breaks out, threatening his herd, he gets terribly anxious. Even the assurances of Pascale, his veterinarian sister, that everything is fine, do not soothe his anxieties. And – quite unfortunately – his fears prove founded since one of his animals gets infected. The shock is severe because one cow touched means that his whole herd will be slaughtered. But Pierre is not going to let that happen.
2. Hippocrate: A French drama film directed by Thomas Lilti, 2014.
Benjamin is going to become a great doctor, he is sure of it. But his first experience as junior doctor in his father’s service, the Professor Barois, does not turn out the way he hoped it would. Benjamin will be brutally confronted with his own limits, his fears, those of his patients, families, doctors and the staff.
