In the 1920s, a young peasant named Wallin returned from military service near the Little Village Lost in Provence Hills. Old Cesar Subiran’s unique successor (who calls the villagers on paper), he intends to cultivate his land and grow eyelashes. But in order to ensure its success, under the South Sun, it must absolutely find a source.
The agreement that is in the Roman farm is a disaster by learning to arrive at the site of a certain Jean Kadoret. From the city to the family came to look for rabbit breeding, it is undesirable and it seems to have a lack of experience. Before their new neighbor came out, Uzolin and Papet decided to get the source.
The first film after pagnol
12 years after the death of Marcel Pagnol, filmmaker Claude Berry was the first to dare to take Maestro’s unwanted torch and tried to adapt to one of his work in the cinema.
His legendary Tchao Pantin was recently staged, after long negotiations with the deceased author’s wife, he would attack the sale of a dipot The water of the hillsThe Pagnoli Highway Roman is adapted by two feature films that Marseilles signed in the early 1950s.
The project is the most ambitious and the risks of being misunderstood, but after 8 months of filming, the monk miraculously manages to resurrect Pagnolesal magic to make Jean de Floretta a true masterpiece of French cinema.
Inseparable from Manon des sources (which was taken in parallel and still remembered for its enormous final scene), the feature film is masterfully staged, carried out with a brilliant soundtrack, with a brilliant photograph and, above all, absolutely brilliant actors.
Critical and commercial triumph
Between the impressive Gerardi Depardius and the Imperial Yves Montend, the film is announced by Daniel Autuel. Sometimes a reprimand, sometimes sincere, both disturbing and sad, he plays a perfect performance in the role of Ugholin (which is initially returned to Colu), and even takes the Caesar for the best auxiliary role.
Appointed in many other categories, Jean de Floret created unanimity with criticism when it came out in 1986 and has excellent commercial success as a bonus, with more than 7 million spectators in theaters.
He noted that out of 4 to 4 stars, the first part of Claude Berry is still considered a timely classic of French cinema, immediately discovered if you have never done so.
