The Country Doctor / Médecin de Campagne (M)
Released in 2016 and shown at the French Film Festival. Described as “a warm-hearted romantic drama set in a beautiful French village.” The story of a country doctor who, when he falls ill, has to find a replacement to take over his practice. The medical authorities send a young, female assistant doctor who proves, much to his annoyance, to be extremely competent. He mischievously makes things difficult for her by sending her into farms and homes with known annoyances! However, the respect grows between them and becomes noticeably warmer. “A Beautiful movie with a big heart.” Tuesday 14th February at 6.00 pm Event Cinemas, Havelock North. Members: $10 non members $15 Supper available afterwards at Pipi’s cafe. |
