| Notherby's :: Manon of the Spring (1423 words) |
 | In Manon des Sources, the second chapter of his novel, Marcel Pagnol uses the same approach in his story that he did in Jean de Florette, posing questions and providing answers in a more or less convoluted, drawn-out way, the better to keep the viewer's suspense high. |
| From the first minute of Jean de Florette until the end of Manon des Sources, we are seduced by the gorgeous images of the Provence countryside, and certainly by the love the director shows for Pagnol's work and the atmosphere it evokes. |
| Manon was just a child when her father died, and is now a beautiful young woman, living alone in the hills with her goats. |
