I heart this story July 12, 2008
I think back on the first time I saw this movie. When it got to the end I just sat there, almost unable to move. I had so many emotions and thoughts processing in my little head that I'm sure that's why my body felt immobile.
This story has *everything*! The acting is superb. If you're not used to foreign films with subtitles give it a chance. After the first 30 minutes you don't even realize they're speaking french.
I have told so many people about this movie (and I mean both movies combined)I waited for years for this combined dvd. Thank you!
I love movies and whenever someone asks me "What's your favorite movie of all time?" I always say "Gee, I have so many favorites, but if I had to choose one it would be Jean De Florette/Manon of the Spring!" So many people have never even heard of it.
I recommend that you set aside 4 quiet hours(a rainy afternoon, a day off from work, perhaps) without interruption so that you can focus on this fabulously told story.
A French Favorite July 3, 2008
Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring are two of my favorite French movies. The stories are compelling, the casting is perfect, the performances subtle and moving. This duo, and at least Jean de Florette, should be in every true Francophone's DVD collection.
wonderful movie June 28, 2008
I LOVE this movie. I was not chocked by the bright colors of this version - but then I knew about it before watching it. If you liked this movie you will also enjoy "My father's glory" (la gloire de mon père) and my mother's castle (le château de ma mère), from the same author Marcel Pagnol.
I am not totally sure if it is still noticeable with the subtitles but the dialogues are very good, the story is rich and it takes place in the beautiful south of France. (same thing for my father's glory and my mother's castle).
Very touching. I higly recommend it!!
Jean and Florette and Manon of the Stpring June 16, 2008
My absolute favorite two movies, full of humanity, humor and a moral tale without being preachy.
The end is brilliant.
So glad it came out on DVD as my old video was pretty dreadful.

A Great Story May 2, 2008
I rented these movies years ago and never forgot what a great story it was. Now I own them and love the story all over again. The french like to set a story up and let if unfold. So be paitent. The wait will be worth it.
