Jean de Florette
Film Description The first of two Claude Berri adaptations of Marcel Pagnol, Jean de Florette is framed by a love of Renoir (both father and son). Filmed in Provence, this film (and its sequel Manon des Sources) is an intricate study in man’s cruelty to man. Yves Montand and his almost-idiot son Daniel Auteuil stop the water flow to Gerard Depardieu’s land, an act that brings down almost Biblical tragedy. Quite beautiful and deserving of repeated viewings.

Review by sean on 9th June 2000 Jean de Florette and its sequel, Manon des Sources, are two brilliantly crafted works, set in the beauty of rural France. The story, at once about greed and unselfishness, ambition and hope, is tragic and inspiring. While it is a little predictable at times, the characters are so well crafted that you never quite know who to love or hate, and it forces you to identify with the good and bad in each of them.
Article - "Gérard Depardieu-From Jacques the Lad to...?
"
by David Parkinson
Gérard Depardieu dominates French cinema as no one since Jean Gabin. His achievement is all the more remarkable, however, for the obstacles he has had to overcome in the 60 often traumatic years since he was born on 27 December 1948.
