The Man Who Planted Trees

Back, Frédéric 1924-2013 (director). Tison, Hubert (producer). Plummer, Christopher (narrator). Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Added Author). Narrator: Plummer, Christopher. (Cast).

Summary: The year 2012 was the 25th anniversary of the Oscar® win for The Man Who Planted Trees. Frédéric Back’s previous Oscar® win for Crac! allowed him to fulfill his dream of bringing Jean Giono's wonderful story to the screen. Its environmental message and philosophy of life reflect the concerns already addressed by Back in his previous films. The seeds that the shepherd plants are the symbol of all our actions, good and bad, which have far-reaching consequences we can scarcely imagine. It is up to us to think and act in accordance with our hopes for the future, and if possible, to leave behind us a world more beautiful and promising than the one we inherited. Also available: L'homme qui plantait des arbres (French version) and El Hombre que Plantaba Arboles (Spanish version).
