If you loved Manon delle sorgenti, try Jean de Florette
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
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 Manon delle sorgenti, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Jean de 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.
