Aroview: Indispensible sequel to JEAN DE FLORETTE concludes Marcel Pagnol's story of innocence, greed, envy and revenge in 1920s Provence.

At the time the most expensive production in French history, this is conclusive proof that artistic integrity and a big budget are not necessarily mutually exclusive.

4 stars (Very Good) A visual feast - especially Emmanuelle Beart! - and very enjoyable. No need to watch the first installment in this saga Jean de Florette first - but it's best to. Guaranteed to warm your heart on a cold night ~Sandy
