The film “5 Hectares”, directed by Émilie Deleuze, tells the story of a brilliant Parisian researcher who decides to give up everything to become a farmer. The comedy is carried by Lambert Wilson and Marina Hands, with Limousin as a backdrop.
Lambert Wilson, alias Franck, has just settled in Limousin. With his flight attendant wife, they form a couple who stand out in the rural environment where hospitality is not a golden rule. When the team travels to the region for a preview, the public there has its say. “I think it’s magnified“, said a spectator.
The virtues of slowing down
“I claim more than a peasant who is confronted with a guy like Franck, he will act like a peasant. And Franck faced with a guy like Michel, he will act like a Parisian“, answers Emilie Deleuze. To succeed in your new life, Franck has an obsession: having a tractor. He buys one, and the 100 km of his return journey will turn into a road movie, at very low speed. An inspiring theme for Lambert Wilson, who lives in the countryside. “Everything goes faster and faster, and ultimately no one is happy. I believe that the happiness we all seek will really come through slowing down“, he confides.
