520			_aFrom case cover: [Copy 1] French director Claude Berri's stunning adaptation of the acclaimed Marcel Pagnol novel is the winner of numerous international awards and is the world's most popular foreign language film ever. City-dweller Jean de Florette (Gérard Depardieu) moves his family to the Provence countryside in the 1920s to forge a new life as a farmer. But his proud, cocky neighbouring rival Le Papet (Yves Montand) schemes with his simple-minded nephew Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) to acquire some nearby land ensuring the novice owner never discovers an all-important natural spring on the property. A wholly captivating, emotionally powerful and beautifully photographed classic epic of innocence, evil, greed, envy and revenge. [Copy 2] Yves Montand (The Wages of Fear) and Gérard Depardieu (The Man in the Iron Mask) star in this timeless tale of greed, survival and fate. Winner of four British Academy Awards including Best Film and nominated for eight French Cesar Awards, Jean de Florette is "richly textured and emotionally powerful, exquisitely and meticulously filmed, with galvanizing performances" (Leonard Maltin). Set amidst the rugged hills of Provence, this epic saga follows the heroic efforts of Jean Cadoret (Depardieu), who inherits a farm from his mother, Florette, and leaves his city job behind, hoping to create a "new Eden" with his wife and daughter. But, unbeknownst to Jean, his greedy neighbor, Cesar Soubeyran (Montand), is plotting to steal the land out from under him. With the help of a corrupt nephew (Daniel Auteuil), the clannish villagers and the added effects of a severe drought, Cesar hatches a wicked scheme that drives Jean to the brink of madness. This story continues in the powerful sequel, Manon of the Spring.
