Product: Manon of the Spring (1987)
Rating: 5.0
A mind-boggling plot!
This continuation of Jean de Florette is an amazing film, even better than it's prequel. Director Yves Montand does an excellent job of completing the story; the irony of the plot leaves your mouth hanging open. Absolutely nothing could be improved: excellent acting, emotion and screenplay. The struggle of life continues when the two main characters finally acquire their neighbor's property - then the younger man falls in love with a mountain girl. Who is she, this wild young beauty? None other than the daughter of the neighbor the two had driven out. And that's not all. More surprises await.*This movie is not just for those who speak/study French. It is a tale anyone can enjoy.
