Movie Reviews of Manon of the Spring
Movie Review: A Good Sequel Than Needs To Be Seen With 'Jean de Florette'
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a good sequel to "Jean de Florette" which was made earlier in the year this was made. Both movies should be seen back-to-back to make this story complete and comprehensible. Actually, this really could be called "Jean de Florette: Part Two."
"Manon Of The Spring" features Emmanuelle Beart, who has to have one of the prettiest faces ever put on film. She plays the now-grown-up woman who gets revenge on the men who ruined her father when she was a little girl.
As in the first film, this has interesting characters. The cinematography isn't quite as striking as "Florette," but still decent. There are some neat twists at the end of the story, tying all of it together. The 113-minute film starts slowly for the first third but then picks up nicely to become a memorable story.
Remember, you shouldn't watch this film without seeing the other one first.
Summary of Manon of the Spring
Less a sequel than a seamless continuation of its predecessor, Jean de Florette, Manon of the Spring brings with it a more epic scope as it depicts the growth to womanhood of the daughter (Emmanuelle B?art) of the doomed farmer of the first film. As she discovers the truth of what happened to her father as a result of the scheming of their neighbor (Yves Montand), who took the land for himself, she vows revenge, realizing that the neighbor's deeds have irrevocably shaped the course of her life. Her moves toward avenging her father's demise provide an ironic twist to this harsh and thought-provoking saga, and French director Claude Berri perfectly illustrates the lasting consequences of deceit, greed, and revenge. Manon of the Spring is a very special foreign film choice, destined to be revered for years to come. --Robert LaneArt House & International DVD Video
