Product: Manon of the Spring (1987)
Rating: 5.0
beautiful film
The actors are superbe and they imitate the accent of the region to enhance its authenticity. The visual and musical background help catapault Marcel Pagnol's written work into one of the best film series (Jean de Florette/Manon des Sources) of French cinema. Whether one is a fan of foriegn films or not, these films are fantastic and the musical scores are beautiful. Parts of the movie's score are based on a Vivaldi piece. The rest is also magical. The films are tragic but at the same time, anyone can appreciate their beauty and quality.
