It’s quite a simplistic story, but very endearing and enchanting. The score was really good too.

A great film with lots of heart, it's a two-parter, so rating it separately from its second part is very difficult, however, what's here works as a cohesive story all on its own. It's a beautiful film, not so much because of its excellent framing, but rather because of the gorgeous backdrops, there's very little in Jean De Florette's locales that don't inspire a sense of peacefulness, even when contrasted with the film's two conniving villains. Touching and always entertaining. Recommended.

Sublime, deeply moving drama, and indictment of human nature, pits sunny and likable Depardieu (who is extraordinary) against schemers Montand and Auteuil. Blind-sides the viewer by beginning almost as a comedy, as we suspect the sweet natured Depardieu will leave his enemies in the dust by blind optimism, but switches to intense drama, leading to an unbearably sad deneumont. Exceptionally well shot and written, and marked by precise characterisations by every member of the cast.

Depardieu raises this film from an engaging and somewhat dispiriting morality tale into something great.

Very interesting characters, simple but engaging story. Beautiful pastoral setting, warm color palette with lots of green. Just by looking at this film, like Florette I feel the urge to reconnect with nature.

A very satisfying small-scale epic in 2 parts. Berri seems particularly interested in exposing the close-mindedness and nastiness of a certain breed of rural hick while giving them a small amount of redemption. Things get a little goofy in the third hour (i.e., the first half of Manon) and it's far too easy to root for the heroes, but it's generally made up for by other aspects, particularly the plot construction, Depardieu's earnest but naive performance and the beautiful pastoral atmosphere.

Every facet of the film is wonderful and even while it doesn't feel particularly original the execution is unimpeachable. Wonderful visual contrasts, excellent writing and superb performances create characters that deliver depth in their simplicity. The commentary is ever present but never in your face and the twists of the plot are all very appropriately handled.

There's nothing very extraordinary about any single facet of Jean de Florette (except maybe the writing, which really stands out), but there's nothing at all wrong with any single facet of it either. The acting, the characters, the direction, whatever else you can think of: all are more than competently handled. It's an original, believable, well-realised story, and there's nothing not to like about it.
