Clever stuff
By dvd addicted monkey from beautiful south wales , 25 Feb 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
This sequel picks up the story circa 9 years where Jean De Florette ends.
You certainly need to see the first in order to appreciate the nuances and plot of the 2nd. For continuity purposes the majority of the cast are unchanged and importantly for me the original score is also intact.
If you thought Jean de Florette was a little sombre, you will understand that this digs you down a tad further. The pain for both Pabet and his nephew are palpable and I certainly felt that their selfishness had been repaid with significant interest on top.
This sequel is certainly on par with the first and in essence you should try to watch both films back to back a la Tarrantino's Kill Bill series!- Was this review helpful to you?

(105)Great watch
By a customer , 27 Mar 2012A really great watch and nicely picks up the story of Jean de Florette. A nice change from so many of the 'run of the mill' films about today.- Was this review helpful to you?

Wonderful Part Two!!
By Fenelon (15 reviews) , 03 Dec 2011Please note this is the second part of Jean de Florette and rent them together!!
The second half may even be more compelling than the first - epic, gripping and atmospheric these two movies will draw every emotion from you - with an ending that doesn't for once disappoint!
Jean de Florette/Manon des Sources are amongst my favourites of all time - if you are human then you simply will not be disappointed!- Was this review helpful to you?

Sit back and enjoy
By AndyRob (15 reviews) , 21 Oct 2011Brilliant follow up to Jean De Florette which you must see before watching this one to fully appreciate the story. A relatively simple film no fancy tricks or CGI in this one! Some beautiful scenery too...thoroughly recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?
