  Great watch
  
  A 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.

  Cinema at its best.
  
  Films don`t come much better than this. I think Manon Des Sources should be compulsory viewing for everyone-its so enriching. What more can I say?
