|
When the young wife of the local baker runs off with a handsome shepherd, the tranquility of village life is shattered. The inconsolable baker stops baking bread and the citizens are forced to take action to bring the two together again. |
| Critical Acclaim |
|
"The Baker's Wife is not a realist drama, but a poem, sensuous and obscure...It also happens to be one of the greatest films ever made: pagan, poetic and incomparably witty." - The New York Times |
