Got to pluck up courage to tell her in Pluck-the-Hen!

Plot:Plume-La-Poule (= Pluck -the -hen)is a small village where time stood still;it is some kind of Shangri-la ,where you can find a well ,not a wishing well ,but a place you must not lie for the naked truth came out of its water ,in Henri The Fourth's times. A chatelaine hires,like every summer, some students who harvest ;one of them falls in love with the lady's daughter ,but the boy's daddy is not prepared to accept it,because he is engaged to another girl,with a 2 million Francs dowry at that!Light- hearted gallantries ,amorous quarrels follow.

With this movie, Walter Kapps was not plucked out from obscurity;it's really a hopeless effort ,and you have to pluck up courage to write something nice about it.Sign of the time, a man is amazed because a woman (women did not vote in France before 1946,and this movie was made in 1947)is the mayor of the village.Finer feelings abound and even the not-very-handsome failed law student ,who serves as a foil to the handsome romantic male lead, plucks up the courage to tell the chatelaine he yearns for her.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
