Jean de Florette Movie Review (1986): A Timeless French Classic of Greed, Fate, and Human Nature
A masterpiece of French cinema, Claude Berri’s Jean de Florette is a haunting story of dreams, deception, and destiny set in the sun-drenched fields of Provence. With Gérard Depardieu delivering one of his most moving performances, this first part of a two-film saga is both visually stunning and emotionally devastating. A must-watch alongside Manon des Sources for the full impact.
