If you loved Jean de Florette, try Manon of the Spring

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

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 Jean de Florette, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
