A superb movie that works on so many levels....I first saw this and jean de florette as a teenager and was satisfied by the "happy ending" I thought it was then but now older, wiser and much more experienced in life,I have watched it again and was brought to tears by the tragedy of the ending I never truly appreciated or realised before in my youth.
I like this movie manon and jean de florette for tapping into the humanity of us all, how easy it to make wrong choices and actions not seeing the consequences to others and to ourselves, only seeing the immediate goal. How many things I would change now if I could.....
a 10 for a truly human movie and of course for great acting, beautiful countryside and music that only serve to compliment it.
