The equally extraordinary, award-winning sequel to Jean de Florette continues the timeless story with the late Jean de Florette's daughter, Manon (Emmanuelle Beart) now grown up into a beautiful and free-spirited young shepherdess on her father's Provence farm. -(DVD cover)

Upon learning the tragic truth behind her father's death, Manon plots revenge on the dim-witted Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) and the scheming Le Pepet (Yves Montand). Based on the classic novel by Marcel Pagnol (first filmmaker to be elected to the French Academy (1946-1974)), Manon des sources and Jean de Florette are universally acclaimed visual feasts containing masterly performances leading to a heart-stopping and totally unexpected conclusion. -(DVD cover)

In a rural French village an old man and his only remaining relative are successful flower growers using water from a spring on an adjoining property they now own. The grown-up daughter of the previous owner still lives in the hills as a goatherd and comes to realise that not only these two but the whole village knew of the existence of the spring when her father was desperately trying to water his crops. An accident with one of the goats leads her by chance to the source of the spring and the possibility of a terrible revenge. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0091480/plotsummary)

This is just as good or even better that it predecessor, Jean de Florette (1986). It is amazing how well thought out the story is. Like a Greek tragedy, everything falls into place, everything is accounted for as fate conspires with character to bring about retribution for those who did wrong. We feel sad and sorry for Papet and Ugolin, whose weaknesses and "crimes" are so like our own. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0091480/usercomments)

If this sequal is anywhere near as good as it's predecessor, then it's a winner!!

Great film, exceptionally well acted, which I've seen many times already. (Emmanuelle Beart's nude bathing sequence is a blessing...)
There are two other films from Provence, candid and far less dramatic, that I'd like to see again: "La gloire de mon père" and "Le chateau de ma mère" :-)

StarkyBoyz, it is not a password problem. please try to repair the rar-part(s) that generates the error-message.

WinRAR Menu - Tools - Repair Archive

(and dont forget to use fixed-rar-part(s) while extracting later)

Good luck.

Which program should I use to get the English subtitles? I have two programs I can use but neither will show the English subtitles, only another language unknown to me. Thanks in advance.
