Summary: Just as good as the previous one
Review: Excellent music, end titles are a masterpiece. Nice vocal bits as well. Drawback: 'l'orage' and 'le miel' were on the Jean de Florette soundtrack album as well, giving only 25 minutes of new music on this one. Still the music on 'Manon des Sources' is quintessential and really worth the effort.

Summary: Rainy Day Escape
Review: I am one who loves to travel. Like many, I flock to Europe when I can, but cash flow often prevents me from going when I want. What do I do when I'm tired of life on this side of the pond and need to get away? I wait for a rainy day and pop these films into my VCR. I sit back, relax, and allow the beautiful French scenery and symphonic melody of the French language swallow me whole. I almost feel like I'm running through the hills of southern France and drinking wine with those who really have a sense of community. Watch these films, unplug the phone, and get away from it all for a few hours!

Summary: Great movie, pretty good DVD
Review: I have loved this movie for a long time. I was hesitant to buy the DVD because of comments I had seen about the low quality of the transfer, but was pleasantly surprised ... it looks very good to me, I'd say better than half of the DVDs I own. It's just too bad there aren't some extras along with it. But the movie by itself is enough, really: poignant, humorous, twisted, and totally engrossing no matter how many times I watch it.

Summary: Second film of a two part story.....
Review: I love this film. Emmanuelle Beart made her debut in this film and she is breathtakingly beautiful. Her husband Daniel Auteuil also starred in the film. I don't know if they met on the set or not but it was certainly made at the beginning of their careers in film.The story of Manon (Beart) continues in this film. In JEAN DE FLORETTE she was a little girl, who accompanied her parents to Provence where her father took up the cultivation of Carnations on the old family farm. Uncle (Yves Montand) and cousin (Daniel Auteuil) next door objected as there was only enough water to supply one farm. The result was a water war. In MANON, the young Manon has grown into a young woman. She lives a relatively wild life on the old homestead, raising goats who follow her everywhere like children. Cousin (Auteuil) realizes one day that he is in love with her. But a dark secret hangs over his head and if Manon knew the secret she might hate him (has to do with water). The rest of the plot consists of the resolution of problems, tensions, difficulties set up in JEAN DE FLORETTE. I can't imagine anyone buying one film and not the other. I am buying both DVDs. They are a set. The cinematography is wonderful, the actors are superb. If you love Provence you will want to own these DVDs so you can watch them on those cold rainy days when you aren't in France.

Summary: WOW!
Review: I saw this French film and decided to get it only to be totally surprised that it was so fabulous. I never knew about the movie that preceeded this so I stumbled into this with completely fresh eyes only to discover a film that knocked my socks off. I don't want to give too much away in this review because being able to view this film as is helps in the newness and discovery of. This storyline takes on so many turns that I found myself sitting glued to the screen. I am a huge fan of French films and this one totally stole my heart. A must have.

Summary: The sweet smell of revenge
Review: In the first part of this sequel, Jean de Florette, there has been a murder. So remeber Emerson statement: Commit a crime , and the world is made of glass.
Emmanuelle Béart is one of the most beautiful actress in the world, his charm is so arresting that gives us the perfect role for this work. She made her debut in the screen in this one.
She knows more than Daniel Auteil believes, he falls in love with her but...
The second part of this work is extraordinary. You can miss the absence of Depardieu, that's why the director makes a clever less lineal with more surprises and even satirical approach. Remember the miracle water, for instance.
Yves Montand may well have done the best achievement of his long career in this role.
Watch this enjoyable film, and remember this is the second part of the story.

Summary: Superb, Great plot and story!!
Review: It doesn't have car chases, or explosions, or sickening violence like most present day American movies, what it does have is a great story and ideas. Kind of like American films used to be in the 30's and 40's.Some of my favorite movies over the last ten years have been French, and this is one of them.
