5 hectares

This film here shows a research scientist pining for a return to the land

He is in a relationship with an air hostess who finds his new appetites a little odd but goes along

it is funny at every step and yet manages to highlight the plight of many in the countryside in France. It also illustrates the intrusive unbending bureaucracy from Brussels.

Both French actors; who funnily enough both have English names; Lambert Wilson and Marina Hands carry this opus with extreme elegance as do all the secondary players

• So to summarize fun political in the wider sense and truly original

The other main item of the piece is a John Brown tractor
