In the Name of the Rose: Frot Elevates Formulaic Melodrama from Pinaud
“What is life without beauty?,” inquires antiquated rosarian Eve Vernet in Pierre Pinaud’s painfully straightforward sophomore film The Rose Maker, a clinching sentiment encapsulating the purpose and ‘good’ intentions behind lives devoted to passionate undertakings. That it’s posed as a direct hypothetical in the film’s final moments underlines the film’s petit bourgeois leanings as a product calculated for polite audience pleasantries.
Painted in broad strokes with enlarged font, there’s neither a surprising moment nor an elegant epiphany to be had in this overtly earnest and familiar melodrama.…...

The words “War of the Roses” take on a lighter meaning in “The Rose Maker,” a sweet, gently scented French diversion that is likely to teach you far more than you already knew about hybridizing flowers, even if it doesn’t have a whole lot else to say. Following veteran rose farmer Eve Vernet as she attempts to keep her family business afloat in the face of soulless corporate competition — even if it entails a little botanical skulduggery — Pierre Pinaud’s short but unhurried film benefits immensely from the warmly flinty presence of Catherine Frot (“Marguerite”) in the lead, lending a sense of purpose and personality to a character without much color on the page.
Outside her performance, “The Rose Maker” is short on texture and shading, except when it comes to the spectacular multi-hued roses bred by Eve, and caressed by Dp Guillaume Deffontaines’ camera with dewy reverence. Pinaud...

"I promised him I'd never quit." Music Box Films has revealed an official trailer for The Rose Maker, an indie comedy from France that originally premiered in 2020. It's finally opened in the US this April after first debuting in French cinemas last summer. Eve Vernet was the largest rose grower. It is now on the verge of bankruptcy, on the verge of being bought out by a powerful competitor. In addition, Véra, her faithful secretary, employed three ex-convict employees without any gardening skills. They must team up to rescue the business and save her flowers. La Fine Fleur (which translates to The Fine Flower) stars Catherine Frot, Manel Foulgoc, Fatsah Bouyahmed, Olivia Côte, Marie Petiot, Vincent Dedienne, as well as Rukkmini Ghosh. This actually looks quite charming! I love a good underdog story about someone who figures out how to make things work on her own, while discovering the hidden talents of newcomers.

With audiences emerging from lockdown in South East Queensland, Cairns and regional Victoria, DC/Warner Bros.’ The Suicide Squad held no. 1 at the box office, narrowly defeating Disney’s new sci-fi, Free Guy.
Collectively the two films had a 64 per cent market share, proving the key choices for those still able to go to the movies.
On Friday, cinemas in the nation’s capital closed as the Act entered lockdown, and the next day those across all of regional Nsw shut as a statewide lockdown was imposed. Theatres in Greater Sydney have been closed for eight weeks now, while Melbourne’s cinemas are also shuttered.
Majestic Cinemas operates across regional Nsw and parts of Queensland, and CEO Kieren Dell tells If the lockdowns are “predictably devastating”, particularly with major releases like The Suicide Squad and Jungle Cruise doing decent business. In one small blessing, the Nsw release of Free Guy had already moved to September.

With 16 million Australians in lockdown last weekend, the box office prospects for James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad were fairly slim.
The DC/Warner Bros.’ standalone sequel, effectively a ‘do-over’ of 2016’s critically panned Suicide Squad, still mustered $1.4 million from 305 screens, a decent opening average of $4,635.
Indeed, the Margot Robbie and Viola Davis-starrer was the main film audiences still able to go the cinema turned out for, boasting a 50 per cent market share.
According to Numero, the top 20 titles made just $2.7 million, 40 per cent down on the previous – unsurprisingly the lowest tally this of year.
Cinemas in Sydney and parts of regional Nsw, Victoria and South East Queensland were all closed, while mask wearing indoors remains compulsory in many other areas of the country.
Majestic Cinemas, based across regional Nsw and Queensland, had three of eight sites locked down over the weekend, representing about 50 per cent of screens. Covid...
