Rating: - TRES EXELLENT!!!
This movie is surely a masterpiece. I was introduced to this from my French teacher when we watched it in class. I loved the movie so much that I was so sad when it was over. I showed it to my brothers and later my mom, and both of them just loved it! I want EVERYBODY to watch this if they can and I am sooo happy thatI bought it! If you don't speak French the subtitles are pretty much 100% accurate. Most people who do speak French still might have a little trouble understanding some words because ... Read More
Rating: - Two beautiful and moving films -- how could you possibly pass this up?
This is a very exciting new package -- two delightful and compelling films that tell the tragic and moving story of the lovely Manon and her father. Each story can stand on its own -- I actually saw Manon of the Spring first -- but they belong together and Jean de Florette sets up the backstory of Manon.

The performances are stunning, the stories are powerful, and I challenge ... Read More
Rating: - I heart this story
I think back on the first time I saw this movie. When it got to the end I just sat there, almost unable to move. I had so many emotions and thoughts processing in my little head that I'm sure that's why my body felt immobile.

I have told so many people about this movie (and I mean both movies ... Read More
Rating: - A French Favorite
Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring are two of my favorite French movies. The stories are compelling, the casting is perfect, the performances subtle and moving. This duo, and at least Jean de Florette, should be in every true Francophone's DVD collection.
Rating: - wonderful movie
I LOVE this movie. I was not chocked by the bright colors of this version - but then I knew about it before watching it. If you liked this movie you will also enjoy "My father's glory" (la gloire de mon père) and my mother's castle (le château de ma mère), from the same author Marcel Pagnol.
I am not totally sure if it is still noticeable with the subtitles but the dialogues are very good, the story is rich and it takes place in the beautiful south of France. (same thing for my father's ... Read More
