Product: Manon of the Spring (1987)
Rating: 5.0
IRONIC, TRAGIC, PERFECT
Manon of the Spring is the sequel to Jean de Florette. Manon is the movie that ties both movies together perfectly. In this film, Manon, the hunchback's daughter, exacts her revenge by stopping the spring which feeds the local village. It is also in this film that the old blind woman reveals the heart breaking and utterly tragic truth to the one man who has hurt Manon the most. In the end, this greedy, wretched man loses everything -- literally -- and Manon gains everything.Manon of the Spring is an exquisite movie. The cinematography is incredible, the storytelling is brilliant. The acting is unforgettable.
