7 Walks With Mark Brown

dir. Pierre Creton and Vincent Barré, in French with English subtitles, 104 minutes

Accompanied by a small crew, Creton and Barré follow paleobotanist Mark Brown across seven locations in Normandy as he seeks out native plants from which an ancient garden could be created and explains, with the loving tenderness of a true expert, the etymology, beauty, and scientific properties of the region’s flora.

Mark Brown: “Capitalism leads to death and our extinction.”

“Shows us an exquisite microcosm of existence, containing rich history, meaning, and mystery.” – RogerEbert.com
