Product: Manon of the Spring (1987)
Rating: 4.0
Make sure you see Jean de Florette first
This is the second part of a two part series, and picks up where Jean de Florette leaves off. If you do not see Jean de Florette, then you will be missing much of the background of this movie, and the context is important. For example, without viewing the first movie, the viewer will not know Manons background, what happened to her father, and their farm. The viewer will also not know the full relationship she has with the Soubeyran clan.Most people believe Manon is superior to Jean De Florette, but I disagree. I believe the first film is truly great, and this second one is very good. Together they tell an great story, one that is captivating.The quality of the DVD picture is avarage. The picture is fairly clean and clear. This DVD will make a good addition to anyone's collection.
