If you loved Manons Rache, try Jean Florette
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Claude Berri, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, gut punch, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Manons Rache, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Jean Florette is
City mouse plots sabotage against a hunchbacked heir who inherits dirt. They dam the spring he needs to farm. His scrabbling for water withers his family while their joy grows fat on his ruin.
