Raymond Depardon : Profils paysans

Son of farmers, Raymond Depardon dedicates several short and feature films to the peasant world, with a sensitive and intimate approach. In Profils paysans, an emblematic trilogy, he films a world in the process of disappearing in the French countryside. He captures the speech of the peasants with modesty, revealing the attachment to the land, the weight of tradition, and the loneliness. His look full of empathy values a rural memory in decline in the face of agricultural changes: a precious testimony, of still burning relevance.
