Gemma Bovery
Directed by Anne Fontaine
A literary-minded romantic comedy about a Flaubert-obsessed baker watching his new neighbors unknowingly reenact a classic novel, blending wry observation with genuine affection for small-town life and art.
Martin, an ex-Parisian well-heeled hipster passionate about Gustave Flaubert who settled into a Norman village as a baker, sees an English couple moving into a small farm nearby. Not only are the names of the new arrivals Gemma and Charles Bovery, but their behavior also seems to be inspired by Flaubert's heroes.
