    5 out of 5 stars Wonderful and sad (some mild spoilers inside)   June 20, 2009
    Sabad One
    These two movies (really, as everyone notes, a single one divided into two chapters) are wonderful, although if you are looking for a bucolic feel-good European movie you should look somewhere else.

    Nothing really is wrong here. Great direction, outstanding photography, fantastic acting, especially from Auteuil and Montand (while I keep thinking that Emmanuelle Beart, in this movies like in many others, is significantly more beautiful than skilled), beautiful soundtrack. But perhaps the most outstanding aspect of this film is how all characters are constructed. With a couple of minor exceptions, all characters feel truly real. You will not find total good vs total evil here. Evil does play an important role, but the negative characters are complex, multi-dimensional and clearly able to love and feel, although in a very distorted and parochial way. And theirs is a diffuse evil with many only slightly less guilty than those directly responsible, and with fate playing a crucial role as well.

    Overall, a complex and wonderful movie which I am happy I watched, although I found it so sad that I suspect it will not want to see it again for years to come.



    5 out of 5 stars Greatest movie(s) ever>   May 26, 2009

    These two films, really one story, are perhaps the greatest and most perfect movie ever made. I wish my French were better, so I didn't have to rely quite so much on the subtitles [which are almost always wrong, translation being what it is]; but otherwise, I can't think of a thing to criticize about them. An awesome achievement!

    When my son, a 4th year French student, invited me to watch these movies with him, I was totally uninterested, but finally agreed, just to shut him up. I said I would just watch the first one "Jean De Florette". It took about 15 minutes to get used to reading the subtitles, but after that I was totally immersed in this fantastic film. In fact, when "Jean De Florette" ended, I was so "into" the story line that I insisted on watching "Manon" immediately after. The ending was, for me, a total surprise, which just added to the pleasure I received from watching it. I have now bought my own set, and have watched it another 6 times, and each time I get more out of it. Do yourself a huge favor and buy this set. You'll love it!


    5 out of 5 stars DVD Jean de Florette/Manon of the Spring   April 6, 2009

    Finally this classic diptych has made it to DVD in a form that does not bowdlerize the one short scene featuring Emanuelle Beart's nudity. The films speak for themselves, and are as close to timeless as the cinema has to offer. The quality of the transfer to DVD is superb. I played it on my HD player and monitor, and the upconversion gave the image better than satisfactory sharpness. Well worth the purchase for anyone who cares for good cinematic literature that is matched by technical presentation.
