Michel, a fifty year old man, graphic designer, decides to change the urban lifestyle and go on an adventure.
The Sweet Escape has a dry wit, welcome streaks of whimsicality and a fine ensemble cast that also includes Agnès Jaoui as Laëtitia, the warm-hearted widow whom Michel encounters on his travels. There hasn’t been a more charming French film this year.
General release. Check local listings for show times.
