Product: Manon of the Spring (1987)
Rating: 5.0
Extraordinarily powerful!
This second chapter in the story that began in "Jean de Florette", is such an extraordinary tale of love, hate, pain, revenge and tragedy that even the events which transpired in the previous film cannot prepare you for the tragic events of this film. Like a greek tragedy, the events slowly but surely unfold, and even the characters who we have come to despise become tragic and sympathetic by the film's conclusion. Rarely can there be found a film of this dramatic power. Easily one of the best French films of the 1980's!
