Aroview: A modern classic of love, greed and revenge set against the beauty of 1920s French Provence, superbly performed by three of France's biggest stars.

The emotionally powerful story of envy and deceit is satisfying in itself, but especially rewarding when coupled with its sequel, MANON DES SOURCES. Based on the novel by Marcel Pagnol.

3 stars (Good Enough) It is well made and it has a good story. Auteuil's performance is the pick out of a strong cast. ~Tubbs
