Leave your thoughts about Jean de Florette.
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonYou may also become permanently sick of goats. But after Jean, a rich residue of themes and images remains -- much as after reading a long but great novel or Greek tragedy. |
| FilmFestivals.comMoira SullivanBeautiful, carefully groomed, French epic. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonVisually resplendent and magnificently acted (particularly by Auteuil), Jean de Florette has all the trimmings of a great Greek tragedy. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeA stealthy work that creeps up on the viewer, becoming intriguing without seeming to work at it. |
| CinemaniaDan JardineJean de Florette is as melodramatic as any soap opera, but its treatment is just a little askew, just off-center enough for the film to evolve into a moving and powerful pastoral tragedy. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn emotionally affecting morality tale about greed and undeserved anguish. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[VIDEO ESSAY] "Jean de Florette / Manon des Sources" is an emotionally potent movie whose lush depiction of Provence captures your imagination in such a tangible way that you feel as if you are living there during the period. |
| User ReviewMarie CYes, it is a french film, but so worth the eye strain of reading sub-titles for those of you that do not speak french! Gotta see it!!! |
| User ReviewJane MBoasting a colorful palette of pastels on its cover and essentially a story revolving around an aspiring flower farmer, Jean de Florette is the sort of movie red-blooded, meat-eating guys like myself steel our sensibilities to. I went into this movie swearing that I wouldn't allow myself to falter against any saccharine melodrama or any other sort of emotional manipulation. Boy was I wrong - this movie is beautifully directed in a seemingly effortless way and will move you to tears without intentionally tugging at your heart strings. This is testament that great acting and super storytelling trump spectacle. |
| User ReviewRoderick NThe plot is so simple and elegant, and makes the whole thing work. Sequel's a bit dodgy tho. |
