If you’re partial to the Lowell Thomas rather than the Benjamin Britten, or you love the Peace but a Cajun Sunrise leaves you cold, I’ve got a movie for you.
The film follows a rainbow coalition of horticulturalists.
The Rose Maker will have rose enthusiasts (yes, those were all varieties of rose) watering themselves with glee: here finally, a movie that recognises the true art and creativity of those who create the noble flower in all its glory. The accomplished Catherine Frot plays Eve Vernet, a once-leading light of the French rose industry, who has fallen on hard times. Frot’s presence alone guarantees a certain quality.
