Judith has recommended 2010's French film "My Afternoons With Margueritte" / "La tête en friche" (The Fallow Head).
Description:
In a small French town, a man considered to be the village idiot by his friends at the local bistro, takes a walk to the park one day and happens to sit beside Margueritte, a little old lady who is reading excerpts from her novel aloud.
Germain is lured by Marguerite’s passion for life and the magic of literature from which he has always felt excluded. As Margueritte broadens his mind via reading excerpts from her novel, Germain realizes that he is more of an intellectual than he has ever allowed himself to be.
