Jean de Florette (PG) - Pay what you can £8.00 / £6.00
Co-adapted by director Claude Berri from a novel by Marcel Pagnol, this hugely successful French historical drama concerns a feud over a valuable spring in a remote farming community. City dweller Jean Cadoret (Gérard Depardieu) inherits the land when the original owner is accidentally killed by covetous farmer Cesar Soubeyran (Yves Montand). Soubeyran and his nephew Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) try every dirty trick in the book to force Cadoret off his land. Although the Soubeyrans appear to gain the upper hand, the audience is assured that they will eventually be foiled by the daughter of the spring's deceased owner setting the stage for the sequel, Manon des sources.
