- Honest
Its hard to think of anything negative about these two excellent films (not going to repeat the story again-there are plenty of reviews here). However its worth noting that the slowness in the pace of these films mirrors the lives and setting of the characters portraid within. If you have the time (4 hours) and patience you see the story unfolding rather than punching you in the face! The ending is one of the best, in that it is unexpected and jaw dropping. Ignore the negativity from other reviews, ... Read More

- Truly superb
Prequel and sequel, this duo impressed me big time when I first saw them. Many years later they have lost none of their lustre.
The story is based around "le Bossu" - the hunchback - a naive but dignified would-be farmer who is cheated out of his precious water supply by two crafty locals. They aim to drive down the value of his land and force a distress sale. A prolonged drought sees him ruined but when his daughter discovers the truth she sets about taking revenge...

Rating:
- Ridiculously over-rated French froth
The best French film in 20 years? A masterpiece? Both of these suggestions are quite laughable and grossly overstate the importance of this film pairing in the context of French cinema as a whole which is without much doubt the greatest cinema in the world.
Both films are rather banal, bland pedestrian adaptations of Marcel Pagnol's book (at best)and provide little in the way of cinematic poetry to justify their own existence. Claude Berri brings very little to the stories which isn't there ... Read More
Rating: - Just Beautiful
I bought this as I am a lover of French movies and insisted my mother watch it (though she doesn't usually watch subtitled films). We didn't plan on seeing both (each film is great entertainment in its own right and creates different emotions), my mother couldn't wait for another sitting to see the second one, it's best seen back to back. So what is so great about it? Filmed in the beautiful backdrop of Provence in France, great writing, acting and casted very well, with, Depardieu, Yves Montand, Daniel ... Read More
Rating: - A masterpiece
My brother and his girlfriend bought this for us for Christmas, which we initially thought a surprising gift as we'd never seen (or expressed a wish in seeing) a foreign language film before. Having just watched it, I have to say it was an completely inspired choice. Initially, it's the quality of the cinematography that draws you in, as the landscape of Provence and its wild animals are portrayed at their most beautiful and detailed. Then it's the tale of an idealistic young man moving out of the town ... Read More
