Réalisme Poétique: La Femme du boulanger [The Baker's Wife] [OmeU] F 1938, R: Marcel Pagnol mit Raimu, Ginette Leclerc, Fernand Charpin, 133 Min

The Baker's Wife is a film directed by Marcel Pagnol, an adaptation of an episode from the novel 'Jean le Bleu' by Jean Giono. When the village baker refuses to bake bread because his unfaithful wife has left with a handsome shepherd… The individual drama takes on a collective dimension. Raimu gives us a prodigious interpretation that made Orson Welles say he was the greatest actor in the world. The film was, along with La Trilogie, one of Pagnol’s greatest successes.
