Editorial Reviews:
|
Based on the best-selling memoirs of French novelist/filmmaker Marcel Pagnol, this captivating recollection of a young boy's life in turn-of-the-century South of France is an intelligent, emotionallyrealistic account of a more idyllic time. A glorious celebration of family, this is one of the most beguiling films since charm went out of fashion (Time)! Among the intoxicating hills of rustic Bastide Neuve, young Marcel and his family experience an unforgettable summer holiday. Marcel,mystified by nature, eagerly turns to his father, Joseph, for an education on the ways of the wild.But Joseph comes up short in Marcel's eyes when cantankerous Uncle Julesan experienced woodsmanproves to be far more knowledgeable. To redeem himself, Joseph challenges Jules to a hunting matchto prove once and for all that he is not only the patriarch but a father who deserves respect.

Customer Rating:
Summary: One of the most beautiful films ever crafted.
Comment: This is my most favorite film in the whole world. Absolutely beautiful and real. I have all of Marcel Pagnol's books and had to have his films. What a wonderful, though short lived time in history this was.
Life changing and a film much needed in todays world of misrey and sadness. If you need to bottle happiness up for latter when you need it, then watch this film and you will have a wonderful memory and walk away content knowing that this film's story really happened and was about real people who lived just a time or so ago.

Summary: The finest film ever made
Comment: Perfection. That's it. Flawless in every production value, every sound, every image, every word, every expression. There is no other film to my knowledge to equal it. Captivating and timeless, it never disappoints.

Summary: Excellent cinema. A slice of life. Good rendering of Pagnol.
Comment: I personally really enjoyed the film. I love Provence, and have read some Marcel Pagnol books, and this rendering is very good. The accent, the actors. Wonderful experience.

Summary: my all-time favorite story of childhood -
Comment: this isn't sappy or childish in any way - and it is profoundly affecting in how it shows life as it should be, and very easily Could Be. for those of us who did not have a precious and protected childhood, this is a chance to see what that might be like. this was very renewing for me to watch, at a time where life had lost its sweetness for me. i can't imagine anyone who would not love the time spent seeing this movie, again and again. this would make a great baby gift or holiday present for a young family -
