Provence, the days before World War I. Rustic well-digger Pascal Amoretti, a widower, encourages fellow laborer Félipe Rambert to date his virgin eldest daughter Patricia, the only of his five who attended a Paris finishing school. Getting drunk, Felipe unwittingly helps her date wealthy general store owner Mazel's handsome, womanizing son, dashing air force pilot Jacques, who gives her a motorbike ride home, make love and get her pregnant. Shortly after, both men are called for military service. On leave, Felipe finds out the truth and still proposes. Jacques is reported missing in action, his family refuses to recognize the baby, so Pascal sends Patricia with it to his outcast sister.
Leave your thoughts about The Well Digger's Daughter.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA tour de force remake of Marcel Pagnol's 1940 film about love, loss, class, forgiveness, and transformation that come from the heart. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertIt's classical moviemaking of a sort rarely seen now, a love story of surprising joy with rounded, flawed but humane characters. |
| Chicago ReaderDrew HuntAuteuil's direction is a lot like his acting -- well-mannered and likable, yet staid and ultimately inconsequential. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittThink of it as a pretty good, French-language bucolic entry in PBS' "Masterpiece" franchise and you'll be fine. |
| New York TimesManohla DargisThere are times in The Well-Digger's Daughter, a once-upon-a-time French film about love, family and the seductive beauty of the Provençal countryside, when the story's sweetness nearly makes your teeth ache. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceThe countryside of high Provence is a major character all its own. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe Well Digger's Daughter is old-fashioned in the best sense, almost cozy in its conventions. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranBest of all "Daughter" marks a return to old-school French moviemaking, the kind of classically well-made endeavor that unrolls before us like a beloved tapestry. This is the kind of film they don't make anymore, only here it is. |
| Boston PhoenixPeg AloiDespite a verbose script and the kneejerk sexism of Pascal, the visual beauty and narrative simplicity make the film a pleasure. |
| About.comJordan HoffmanI mean, if egocentric, short-sighted, emotionally crippling fathers aren't going to fight for their daughters' hymens WHO WILL!? |
