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