# Jean de Florette (1986)

1986 · 118 min · Drama · France, Switzerland, Italy


## Synopsis

Jean de Florette is a 1986 French period drama film directed by Claude Berri. It is the first part of a diptych with Manon of the Spring, released the same year. Both are the adaptation of Marcel Pagnol’s 1962 two-part novel The Water of the Hills, with the second part also being adapted from Pagnol's original 1952 film Manon of The Spring. Berri's version was the first attempt at adapting the whole saga, including the first part, Jean de Florette, which was originally written as a prequel to the novelization of Manon of The Spring.
