Based on a novel by the legendary Marcel Pagnol, Jean de Florette is (alongside Manon of the Spring – Also in TAFFF Library) the first installment in a rich, engrossing epic of greed and deception set amid the bucolic splendor of the Provence countryside. Gerard Depardieu gives one of his great performances as the hunchbacked city slicker Jean, who is determined to make a success of the farm he has inherited–unaware that his new neighbor C\u00e9sar (Yves Montand) and his nephew Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) have launched a ruthless scheme to take control of the land for themselves.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
