Having moved to a rustic farm with her husband, Gemma (Gemma Arterton) soon tires of their ‘simpler’ life and finds distraction in a torrid affair with a handsome young aristocrat. Meanwhile, Martin (Fabrice Luchini), a local baker and lover of literature, becomes besotted with Gemma, but also fears she may suffer the same fate as the heroine in his favourite novel. Based on the graphic novel of the same name by Posy Simmonds, and co-starring Fabrice Luchini and Jason Flemyng Gemma Bovery is directed by Anne Fontaine. (Soda Pictures)

Romantically sunny La Provence can never be all bad. The female version of A Good Year, but less comedic, and following the book, tries to be more dramatic and judgmental, although it only manages to grasp the spirit of it just before the end. Both additions, however, are equally charming and vibrant with the pure vitality of the French countryside. Superb cinematography and editing, an even better Gemma Arterton, for whom this was tailor-made and certainly not just because of the coincidence of her first name.
