Jean de Florette
戀戀山城
Synopsis
-
Before playing the title role of Cyrano, the 17th-century poet and Soldier with a big nose, in Cyrano de Bergerac (1990), Gérard Depardieu has brought to life the harmonica-playing, romantic idealist Jean de Florette in this idyllic epic of the force of destiny. The city intellectual Jean (Gérard Depardieu) has inherited a piece of Provençal land from his mother Florette and soon returns to his “motherland” to start a fresh farming life with his wife and daughter. However, the ever-helpful, simpleminded neighbor Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) and his scheming uncle Papet (Yves Montand) turn out to covet all along his land and its precious liquid gold—the spring water of the hills. Adapted from Marcel Pagnol’s novel L’eau des collines, Jean de Florette and its sequel Manon des sources belong to French super productions of the 1980s.
