It is a nice character study of two people locked into themselves in different ways, and the slow path they each take to recognize their interdependence. Dec 18, 2003 | Rating: 3.5/5

May linger in the mind as a postcard collection of alluring mountain scenery, but there's not much in the way of lingering alpenglow at movie's end. Dec 13, 2003 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

It's a small, simple movie, but, by the end, you feel like you've met two people you'd enjoy hanging with. Jun 14, 2007 | Rating: 3/4

Serrault's got all the appropriate nuances of this old codger down pat. I'm beginning to get the impression that it's who he is. Dec 26, 2004 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

[Carion] has honestly involving characters, and does not shirk the necessarily rude side of agri-life. Jan 30, 2004 | Rating: 3/4

Cheap nuance of country struggle.Oh,but crowds loved Carion's (utterly dull) Merry Christmas,isn't that a genre delicacy?Seigner is trying,she really does,but I almost feel the overreacting melo at certain points,a thing I carefully avoid in modern films.

[font=Century Gothic]In "The Girl from Paris", Adrien(Michel Serrault) owns and works on an isolated farm and feels that it is time to retire. He sells his farm to Sandrine(Mathilde Seigner), a young Parisian, who after a great deal of thought and a two-year intensive agricultural course, has decided she wants to become a farmer. His sole condition is that he is allowed to stay for eighteen months until his family home in Grenoble is ready to occupy. Not helping matters is Sandrine remodeling part of the farm into a resort.[/font] [font=Century Gothic]"The Girl from Paris" is a gentle drama that also works as a feminist parable. Sandrine is a serious young woman who does not make her decisions lightly. Overall, she does a better job than most men would have.(Admittedly, much better than I could have...) [/font] And she seems in no hurry to settle down. The movie avoids the easy laughs that could have come out of the situation.(What humor there is involves a Volvo...) It is well-photographed with likable characters and good performances but a little predictable.
