	The French Peasantry (Film review of Jean de Florette) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The significance of the action of Jean de Florette is made clear only at the end of Manon des Sources and the plot of Manon des Sources represents the resolution of the action of the first film and is unintelligible to someone who has not seen the first film.
		Manon and the teacher unblock the source and the water flows again at precisely the moment the Church is organising a procession around the village fountain praying for a miracle.
		Manon, his daughter, is also a townswoman; she lives as a shepherdess only until she can come once more into her own and in marrying the schoolteacher she reverts to her social station.

	Notherby's :: Manon of the Spring
		In Manon des Sources, the second chapter of his novel, Marcel Pagnol uses the same approach in his story that he did in Jean de Florette, posing questions and providing answers in a more or less convoluted, drawn-out way, the better to keep the viewer's suspense high.
		From the first minute of Jean de Florette until the end of Manon des Sources, we are seduced by the gorgeous images of the Provence countryside, and certainly by the love the director shows for Pagnol's work and the atmosphere it evokes.
		Manon was just a child when her father died, and is now a beautiful young woman, living alone in the hills with her goats.

		Having read the books (Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources) for A-Level French, I've known and loved the story, and the imagery portrayed by Marcel Pagnol through his loving descriptions of the Provence countryside, for a long time.

		It is all too easy to make a bad film of a good book, this is not the case with Jean de Florette and Manon des sources, these films do justice in every sense to the books.

	Manon des sources (1953) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The original version of Manon des Sources directed by Marcel Pagnol tells the story of Manon, a girl living in the mountains, who decides to block the spring supplying the water to the village.
		The story of the hunchback told by Monsieur Belloiseau and the trial of Manon are elements that are absent in the remake and that are delightful here.
		Still, Pagnol's Manon des Sources is amazing and Berri's remake had the intelligence to be different.

	Cinefile Search Result: Detailed Information for "Manon des Sources" - www.cinephilia.net.au
		Manon is not an adequate replacement as her character does little for most of the film other than dart skittishly from hillock to outcrop with her goats, the object of various characters' desires, her emergence in the latter part of the film as a dramatic force being nothing short of incongruous.
		The result is decorously decorative and were it not for the interest generated by the first film, rewarded by a clever ending, this would be little more than a series of glossy images.
		It was a flop (originally it ran for 5 hours and then 3 hours when commercially released) but Pagnol went on to develop a succesful novel from it and added a prequel which became the bases for Berri's films BH DVD Extras: None but the original theatrical trailer.

		Manon of the Spring is an exquisitely told story that grabs your heart and doesn't let go until the movie ends.
		In that movie, two greedy neighbors trick and cheat Manon's father, who is a kind and generous man, in order to gain his property, but the cost is even higher than they planned, since the deception also leads to his death.
		The greedy neighbors suffer harshly for their deeds, and although to a certain extent they deserved it, it is also very sad.

		Manon des Sources begins ten years after Jean de Florette ends.
		Manon (now played by Emmanuelle Béart) has become a recluse, living the life of a shepherdess in the wilds near the village.
		The natural "intermission" at the end of the first film allows the experience to be split, but it's hard to imagine anyone watching Jean de Florette and not moving on to Manon des Sources, and under no circumstances should the second movie be seen first.

	DVD.net : Manon Des Sources - DVD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This drama is set in the French countryside of Provence, in the 1930s, where the inhumanity of man is at such contrast to the beauty of his surroundings.
		Ugolin has spied on Manon as she moves amongst the hills of Provence with her goats, and as she bathes naked in fresh pools of rainwater.
		The results are not totally predictable and the final twist in the tale is worthy of Guy de Maupassant himself, it's a superb denouement.

		The natural "intermission" at the end of the first film allows the experience to be spread over two nights, but it's hard to imagine anyone watching Jean de Florette and not moving on to Manon des Sources, and under no circumstances should the second movie be seen first.
		When Berri completed Jean de Florette/Manon des Sources, he may not have recognized that he had crafted one of the greatest French films of all time, but he certainly understood that the duology would be seen as an achievement.
		Béart is magnetic in Manon des Sources, captivating with her untamed beauty and forceful acting.

		The original version directed by Marcel Pagnol tells the story of Manon, a girl living in the mountains, who decides to block the spring supplying the water to the village.
		Manon wants to have revenge on the inhabitants of the village that ignored her father when he was killing himself to find precious water for his own land.
		Pagnol uses a very less dramatic way to tell that poignant story although some scenes are, like Manon confronting Ugolin and the villagers after the sermon.

		Manon des Sources is the poignant, but more dramatically wobbly, followup to Jean de Florette, producer-director Claude Berri's risky two-film adaptation of a novel by Marcel Pagnol, who, unsatisfied with his own next-to-last featurefeature in 1952, expanded it as a two-part novel.
		Manon takes place some 10 years after the action of Jean de Florette.
		Manon, the hunchback's daughter, grown into a beautiful young woman who now lives in the hills as a reclusive shepherdess, learns the treachery that brought about her father's death and exacts vengeance on Yves Montand, Daniel Auteuil and the village by blocking up the subterranean spring that provides water to the area.
