i think , this film is the best film i ever have seen, i watched several times , the feelings i get when i watch this film , that i live it and not watching it, simply great film
I had to watch this and the sequel, Manon of the Spring, in my French 1 & 2 class in college back in the early 1990s. Everyone in the class loved it--a fantastic film with no sex, no violence, no bad language, no special effects, just a plain, simple story with great acting. Most people don't even know about this movie--a shame!
@ Keirra11~~ you are right..no matter what nationality ..it is true it teaches us to view how human nature works..."what goes around does come around" always practice good karma bec it will definitely come back to you in the end..this my all time favorite french movie ever since I was a teenager!!! thank u for sharing..<3 Cindy
@ Anhinga7~ you are absolutely correct!! I strongly agree with you that this is th best foreign film made in the world I have ever seen..and for being mixed with so many nationalities I have watched; I had have watched many...thai, Lao, chinese, korean, american, vietnamese, cambodian..but this movie is by far the best ever!! I grew up watching since I was very young as a teen..and then I passed it on to my children an they too enjoyed and love it as much as I did..^_^ <3 Cindy
Very good French movie for those who love realism. It offers a great portrait of the human nature, no matter the nationality, because some things are simply universal. In this film, we are provided, on the one hand, the picture of kindness, strenuous effort, hope and trust in people, and, on the other hand, the picture of envy and pettiness. Besides, the actors and their performances are very good.
i liked jean de florette better than manon des sources
