Jean de Florette & Manono of the Spring French Movie

Jean de Florette

&

Manono of the Spring (1986)

Two French movies both produced in 1986. First part is Jean de Florette tells the story of a greedy landowner and his nephew who block the only water source for a hunchback property in order to bankrupt him and force him to sell. The second part "Manono of the Spring" is the sequel and tells the story of the hunchback daughter and her revenge not only on the greedy landowner and his nephew but on the entire village who kept silence while her father suffered.

It is very touching and inspiring story. First part maybe considered, by some people, as boring but to me it was better than the second. I mean in total from plot to the inspiring acting by the great French actor Gereard Depardieu. I recommend both parts to everyone.
