Ce n’est pas tous les jours fête

Colette Piault
1980 France 110 minutes Greek

A chronicle of a village daily life. Although the village appears to be virtually self-sufficient, the truth is that its economical, social & family life depends on the outer world to a great extent. The film shows the alternation between the monotony of daily life and feast days, which mean the return for brief interludes of family members, who have left the village for the city or foreign country. Without any commentary, the film respects the daily pace of villagers.
