Parler pointu

Benjamin grew up in a village in the south of France, a land of Provence, Latin, violent, truculent. A land of bullfights. Trivial and sacred are constantly intertwined. His whole family still lives there, and they all speak with a Midi accent. Except for him. He speaks pointu. That is, with the accent of power.
Parler Pointu tells the story of the gradual abandonment of regional languages and accents, and the intimate and political implications of this loss. In this historical and family epic, Benjamin Tholozan offers us a jubilant moment, embodying with ardor, joy and precision, in turn, the colorful figures of his family as well as the characters who made the Tourangeau "beau-parler", the French of reference even today.
