Movie Reviews of Manon of the Spring
Movie Review: WOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Movie Review: revenge before love
Summary: 5 Stars
When the french do something well, they do it very very well. This is one of the most moving films I have ever seen, the story of a troubled young woman who struggles to overcome the impact of a terrible crime on her family. Beart, who became a major star due to this film, has never been better or more beautiful. Also, the impact of the crime on the perpetrators is equally profound, a study on guilt and sanity, with Auteuil and Montand acting with equal excellence to Beart. It is a pity that so few films like this are made.Get it.
Movie Review: Make sure you see Jean de Florette first
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second part of a two part series, and picks up where Jean de Florette leaves off. If you do not see Jean de Florette, then you will be missing much of the background of this movie, and the context is important. For example, without viewing the first movie, the viewer will not know Manons background, what happened to her father, and their farm. The viewer will also not know the full relationship she has with the Soubeyran clan.The quality of the DVD picture is avarage. The picture is fairly clean and clear.
Movie Review: Manon of the Spring
Summary: 5 Stars
In this marvelous sequel to "Jean de Florette," director Claude Berri builds on his previous feature with its well-observed portrayal of Provençal village life. Infusing his tale with a Greek sense of tragedy, "Manon" tackles themes of desire, fate, and justice. Boasting spectacular performances by Auteuil, Montand, and the bewitching young Beart, "Manon" is a perfect choice for a rainy day, but be sure to watch predecessor "Jean" first.Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
By far this has been one of the best movies I have seen, but to understand it you definately have to see Jean de Florette, also a great movie. Never before have I seen a movie that has kept me watching, you won't want to stop watching it. I garantee you'll love this movie.
