Close to perfection...

I was hooked on this after 10 minutes of watching it while wondering what is it? Actually after that time I didn't care, I just wanted more of it! John-Paul Davidson and Stephen Warbeck were holding me tight in their artistic hands and didn't let me go... not that I wanted!

Made in a magnificent manner - full of nostalgia and love for life, this film about a man with a hat traveling through the rural districts of southeastern France in the summer, will satisfy all your senses. Reaching a great climax of scenic views incorporating peculiarities and serendipitous ways of life, the directing duo reminded me of Jacques Tati!

Captivating music, astonishing cinematography, fantastic acting, fascinating directing... Do not miss it if you love an incredible artistic film!
