Essentially a continuation of Jean de Florette, this is a worthy sequel to the latter. Whilst ostensibly the story details how the two landowners of the prior film get their comeuppance, this is not a film that revels in revenge or the heroine’s eventual triumph, rather it prefers to offer a more nuanced approach and manages to offer some empathy and understanding towards the characters despised in the original. Yves Montand is the star here as he gradually comes to accept the consequences of his actions and the pain he is caused and while the final revelations of the film can appear a little contrived, it nevertheless still packs a considerable emotional beat that works really well.
