Presented with the support of the French Embassy and the Institut Français.

A charming and witty comedy-drama, The Rose Maker is a crowd-pleasing tale of the fight for independence in the cut-throat world of artisan floristry.

Eve is one of France’s greatest rose growers, but her business is on the verge of collapse. When her secretary hires three inexperienced ex-convicts, they must team up to rescue the business in this verdant comedy. Despite her initial hostility to the idea, the new arrivals soon inspire Eve to give rose-designing one last shot.

A fierce lead performance from Catherine Frot proves a particular highlight here, with the Marguerite star once again proving herself to be one of France’s most compelling screen performers.

It’s a relaxed film, one that allows the audience to sit back and, if not smell the roses, then at least appreciate them. – New York Times

A film that wears its emotions lightly but generously, like dew on a blush-colored petal. – Washington Post

Christine Braithwaite’s short Irish film, Circuit Love [15 mins], will be shown before the feature.
