| | Notes | An exquisite film of epic proportions, in fact the story is continued in "Manon of the Spring" (Manon des Sources). Set in the 1920s a tax collector inherits a plot of land in Provence and moves with his family there and becomes a farmer. But he faces the challenge of the land and its need for water, and the hostility of his neighbours. Depardieu as the tax collector who is a hunchback is as good as he can be. Yves Montand as an old farmer scheming with his nephew gives one of his finest performances. And Daniel Auteuil as the nephew who carries out the dirty work and considered 'simple-minded' captures a mix of the nanf and the knave. In the continuation of the film in "Manon of the Spring" (Manon des Sources) it is one of Florette's daughters (played by Emanuelle Beart) . who continues and wins the battle. At the end it is a blind woman who tells them of a letter from Florette. From the novel by Marcel Pagnol
