Direction
Raymond Depardon
Production
Palmeraie et Désert
In the film that culminates his trilogy about the rural region where he was born, Raymond Depardon photographs the faces of its last inhabitants, old and young, in the intimacy of their homes and gives an account of a way of life that is slowly fading away. La Vie Moderne thus becomes a film that serenely talks about our roots, the importance of our legacy, and the future of the people who farm the land.
