Jean de Florette / Manon Des Sources

A double feature. 'Jean de Florette'. A marvelous tale of greed and intolerance from the novel by Marcel Pagnol about a city hunchback who inherits a valuable piece of property in rural France only to have his efforts thwarted by the villainy of his venal neighbour. With Gerard Depardieu, Yves Montand, Daniel Auteuil, Elisabeth Depardieu and Ernestine Mazurownas as little Manon. Followed by 'Manon des Sources' (aka 'Manon of the Spring'). In this sequel to 'Jean de Florette', Emmanuelle Beart is the grown-up, revenge-seeking daughter of the kindly hunchback who was destroyed by the greed of his neighbours. Yves Montand and his nephew Daniel Auteuil learn the awful truth of their villainy in the conclusion of a classic tale of misinformation and retribution.
