Jean De Florette
Yves Montand (The Wages Of Fear) and Gerard Depardieu (The Man In The Iron Mask) star in this timeless tale of greed, survival and fate. Winner of four British Academy Awards including Best Film. Set amidst the rugged hills of Provence, this epic saga follows the heroic efforts of Jean Cadoret (Depardieu), who inherits a farm from his mother, Florette, and leaves his city job behind, hoping to create a "new Eden" with his wife and daughter. But, unbeknownst to Jean, his greedy neighbor, Cesar Soubeyran (Montand), is plotting to steal the land out from under him with a wicked scheme that drives Jean to the brink of madness!
Manon Of The Spring
Starring Daniel Auteuil (Queen Margot), Yves Montand (The Wages of Fear) and Emmanuelle Beart (Mission: Impossible) who, like "a young Bardot or Deneuve, gives a startling performance" (The Hollywood Reporter), this lush sequel to Jean de Florette is "a brilliantly realized achievement" (Boxoffice)! Ten years after her father's death, Manon (Beart) has no idea that her neighbor Cesar Soubeyran (Montand) cheated her out of her father's land. But when Manon discovers that Soubeyran was directly responsible for her father's death, she goes after him with a vengeance in this "epic [and] rousing tale of retribution" (Newsweek)!
