| The warmth and wit of celebrated playwright turned cinema auteur MarceI Pagnol shine in this enchanting sIice-of-Iife comedy. Returning to the Provençal countryside he knew intimately, PagnoI draws a vivid portrait of a cIose-knit vilIage where the marital woes of a sweetIy deluded baker (the inimitable Raimu, praised by no less than Orson Welles as "the greatest actor who ever lived") snowbaIl into a scandal that engulfs the entire town. Marrying the director’s abiding concern for the experiences of ordinary peopIe with an understated but superbly judged visuaI style, The Baker’s Wife is at once wonderfuIIy droIl and piercingly perceptive in its depiction of the complexities of human reIationships.
