About Sanguines
A new gardener arrives at the superb property of a French cultural attaché in Portugal. This frail young man does not have the head nor the figure for the job. And for good reason: Johann is a painter who, after a recent break-up, has fled to find the calm necessary for his work. This intrusion causes disturbances, admitted or not, in this small protected world.
Directed by Christian François, Sanguines leans on a strong ensemble — Mathieu Carrière, Clémentine Célarié, Yves Beneyton — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1988.
