Movie Reviews of Jean De Florette
Movie Review: Great story !
Summary: 5 Stars
The performance of all actors, especially Gerard Depardieu is top-notch. The story has a sad ending, but thought provoking. The excitement, energy and the fierce determination of Jean de Florette is inspiring. This city dweller is so determined to succeed as a farmer that he will give up under no circumstance. Beware that the French spoken in this movie is not the Parisian French, the Provence accent makes it very hard to understand, in case you are a student of French. (There are French subtitles too, besides English, so that helps a lot).Movie Review: Don't stop with this one!
Summary: 5 Stars
Jean de Florette captures something eternal in the story about the struggle to secure a property and source of water for the garden that Jean plants. The cycle of frustration, greed and vengeance -- which is the history of mankind -- is completed in Manon des sources. So get that one too! The film itself is magical in the way we are carried away completly into the small world of a century ago in the hills of Provence, almost like being there. If you are learning French, here is something for which the language is really worth learning.Movie Review: Jean De Florette
Summary: 5 Stars
Adapted from Marcel Pagnol's two-volume novel, Claude Berri's magnificent "Jean de Florette" (and its sequel, "Manon of the Spring"), center on the bounty we owe to water, comprising two parts of one rich story. The great Yves Montand delivers a memorable, nuanced portrayal of the scheming "Le Papet," while the equally brilliant Depardieu tugs at the heartstrings as determined hunchback Cadoret, who struggles against impossible odds to make his farm a success . Stunningly picturesque, "Jean" reaches a high watermark for period drama.Movie Review: One of the top 10 films ever made
Summary: 5 Stars
Jean de Florette, along with Manon of the Spring are among the best movies ever made. A rich, poignant morality tale in the South of France touches on the basic issues of life: the importance of kindness to strangers, the unforeseeable consequences of evil, the importance of tradition, the love within families, etc. Be sure to also see "My Mother's Castle" and "My Father's Glory", Both, along with the two mentioned above, are testaments to Marcel Pagnol's genius.
Movie Review: EXCELLENT FILM/A MUST SEE
Summary: 5 Stars
IN ANSWER TO THE FIRST REVIEW ABOUT THIS MOVIE, MOST PEOPLE (IN THE UNITED STATES) ARE REALLY IGNORANT OF WHAT GOOD FILMS ARE ALL ABOUT. THEY ARE BLINDED BY TODAY'S "HOLLYWOOD" INDUSTRY WHICH IS LESS THAN PERFECT, TO SAY THE LEAST...EVERYONE...: DO YOURSELFS A FAVOR: START WATCHING MORE FOREIGN FILMS..., MOST OF THEM ARE NOT PRETENTIOUS, NOT SHALLOW, NOT HOLLYWOOD..., EVERYONE MIGHT LEARN A THING OR TWO.
GREAT FILM, FULL OF GOOD CONTENT AND MEANING!!!
