The son of farmers, Raymond Depardon has devoted several short and

feature films to the rural world, with a sensitive and intimate approach.

In Profils Farmers, his emblematic trilogy, he captures a disappearing way of life in the French countryside.

He records the words of farmers with restraint, revealing their bond with the land, the weight of tradition, and their solitude. His empathetic gaze honors a fading rural memory, confronted with the transformations of modern agriculture — a powerful and timely testimony.
