Daniel Auteuil returns to the world of simple country life in Provence (and
the place of his own childhood) for his first feature as a director. La fille
du puisatier deals with an unmarried girl, Patricia (Astrid Berges-Frisbey),
the daughter of the well-digger Pascal Amoretti (Auteuil), who gets herself
pregnant just after turning 18. The father-to-be, Jacques (Nicolas Duvauchelle)
is not around, having been called up as a fighter pilot in the war and he has
gone missing, presumed dead. This is beautifully shot in perpetual sunshine
and superbly scored by Alexandre Desplat (The King’s Speech),who makes fine
use of early 1940s period songs to heighten the atmosphere. The simplicity
of Auteuil’s direction gives the film its truly authentic charm. Dir: Daniel
Auteuil, 2011
