Claude Berri

Le Papet (Yves Montand) och hans nevö Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) lever i Provence under 1920-talet. Ugolin har en dröm om att odla nejlikor i stor skala och behöver vatten till odlingarna.

Marcel Pagnol är för fransmännen vad Vilhem Moberg är för svenskarna. "Jean de Florette" är hans största verk och tilldrar sig till 20-talets Provence och dess hänförande landskap.<br/><br/>Hit kommer puckelryggen Jean de Florette från staden för att skapa ett nytt Eden med sin fru och lilla dotter. Men byns herre, Papet, planerar att stjäla marken från honom. Genom att i hemlighet täppa till källan som går till Jeans gård, tvingas han gå flera kilometer för att hämta vatten. Samtidigt som odlingarna förtvinar i hettan drivs Jean allt närmare mot vansinnets och ödeläggelsens brant.<br/><br/>Detta är berättelsen om den lilla människan mot den stora, om gott mot ont, om liv mot död - i en berättelse så mäktig, vacker och gripande att den inte lämnar någon oberörd.<br/><br/>En av de största biosuccéerna i Frankrikes historia. På sin tid hade filmen 7,2 miljoner besökare! "Jean de Florette" var vid premiären den mest påkostade filmen i Frankrikes historia. Åtta gånger dyrare än en normalproduktion. Det blev en enorm publik- och kritikersuccé, som belönades med fyra Brittish Academy Awards, bl.a. bästa film, och anses vara en av tidernas bästa filmer.<br/><br/>Missa inte fortsättningen i Manons källa - Jean de Florette 2.
