A remarkable film that manages to tread a fine line between comedy and tragedy throughout as two landowners conspire to thwart the efforts of their unsuspecting neighbour from making a success of his new venture. It’s initial tone suggests a light hearted farce, but Depardieu’s determined and sympathetic performance in the face of adversity are a constant reminder of the cruelty and greed of those around him. Whilst the film is beautifully shot, it is also equally adept at reminding the audience of the harsh environment that the farmers are working in. The final moments of the film clearly suggest a story that is unfinished, but as a stand-alone tale of greed and jealousy, it works extremely well.
