The film I watched before this one wad the Wild Pear tree set in Turkey. This film, set in France, also featured a pear tree - Although to me it looked rather large for a pear tree, even though 100 years old.
Both films were hampered by over long dialogue scenes, this much one less so than the other. There was one scene, however, discussing how to handle criminality that I found rather too lengthy and it became a bit irksome.
Overall I really enjoyed the interaction between the two main characters. I also enjoyed the humour, particularly within the cafe and gallery scenes.
There were a lot of rooms with decorations that put me in mind of colours from the Farrow and Ball colour chart. I found myself trying to recall the names of the various colours.
Harking back to the scene in the gallery, I think that the ending was very well done indeed and had me applauding in my living room.
