Product Details
Jean De Florette (1986): French director Claude Berri's stunning
adaptation of the acclaimed Marcel Pagnol novel is the winner of numerous
international awards and is the world's most popular foreign language film ever.
City-dweller Jean de Florette (Gerad Depardieu) moves his family to the Provence
countryside in the 1920's to forge a new life as a farmer.
But his proud, cocky neighboring rival Le Papet (Yves Montand) schemes with his
simple-minded nephew Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) to acquire some nearby land
ensuring the novice owner never discovers an all-important natural spring on the
property.
A wholly captivating, emotionally powerful and beautifully photographed classic
epic of innocence, evil, greed, envy and revenge.
Manon Des Sources (1987): The equally extraordinary, highly successful
and award-winning sequel to Jean De Florette based on the classic novel by
Marcel Pagnol.
The timeless story continues with the late Jean de Florette's daughter Manon
(Emmanuelle Beart), now grown up into a beautiful and free-spirited young
shepherdess on her father's Provence farm.
But when she finally learns the tragic truth behind her father's death, Manon
plots her revenge on the dim-witted Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) and the scheming Le
Papet (Yves Montand).
A visual feast containing masterly performances leading to a heart-stopping and
totally unexpected conclusion, Manon Des Sources - together with Jean De
Florette - are universally acclaimed as the best French films of the past three
decades.
