A Good Sequel Than Needs To Be Seen With 'Jean de Florette'
This is a good sequel to "Jean de Florette" which was made earlier in the year this was made. Both movies should be seen back-to-back to make this story complete and comprehensible. Actually, this really could be called "Jean de Florette: Part Two.""Manon Of The Spring" features Emmanuelle Beart, who has to have one of the prettiest faces ever put on film. She plays the now-grown-up woman who gets revenge on the men who ruined her father when she was a little girl.As in the first film, this has interesting characters. The cinematography isn't quite as striking as "Florette," but still decent. There are some neat twists at the end of the story, tying all of it together. The 113-minute film starts slowly for the first third but then picks up nicely to become a memorable story.Remember, you shouldn't watch this film without seeing the other one first.
