Le Bonheur de Pierre (2009) *

Imagine "Jean de Florette" as a comedy, and you'll get "Le Bonheur de Pierre", a story of a gentle Frenchman (Pierre Richard) who inherits a small bed-and-breakfast in a little Canadian town, but finds himself hated and persecuted by his new neighbors. Amusing at times, but in a sadistic sort of way.
