Synopsis:

Jean De Florette (1986): French director Claude Berri's stunning adaptation of the acclaimed Marcel Pagnol novel is the winner of numerous international awards and is the world's most popular foreign language film ever. City-dweller Jean de Florette (Gerad Depardieu) moves his family to the Provence countryside in the 1920's to forge a new life as a farmer. But his proud, cocky neighboring rival Le Papet (Yves Montand) schemes with his simple-minded nephew Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) to acquire some nearby land ensuring the novice owner never discovers an all-important natural spring on the property. A wholly captivating, emotionally powerful and beautifully photographed classic epic of innocence, evil, greed, envy and revenge.

Manon Des Sources (1987): The equally extraordinary, highly successful and award-winning sequel to Jean De Florette based on the classic novel by Marcel Pagnol. The timeless story continues with the late Jean de Florette's daughter Manon (Emmanuelle Beart), now grown up into a beautiful and free-spirited young shepherdess on her father's Provence farm. But when she finally learns the tragic truth behind her father's death, Manon plots her revenge on the dim-witted Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) and the scheming Le Papet (Yves Montand). A visual feast containing masterly performances leading to a heart-stopping and totally unexpected conclusion, Manon Des Sources - together with Jean De Florette - are universally acclaimed as the best French films of the past three decades.

Lucie Aubrac (1997): Based on the dramatic true story and her novel,'Outwitting the Gestapo', Claude Berri's Lucie Aubrac is the nail-biting tale of undying love between a couple who are active members of the French Resistance, the secret army that fought against the occupying Nazi forces in France. Raymond Samuel (Aubrac is their underground pseudonym) is arrested at a Resistance meeting during a raid on a Doctor's surgery, after a tip-off from an inside informant. Lucie (Carole Bouquet) manages to visit Raymond (Daniel Auteuil) in prison by telling the German Police she had an affair with him and that she is carrying his child. With the help of the Resistance, she attempts to rescue Raymond and his fellow prisoners before they are to be executed. Her absolute devotion to her husband leads to a dramatic conclusion, risking life and limb in her attempt to free him from the hands of the Gestapo in one of the most remarkable love stories ever told!

Germinal (1993): Jobless Etienne Lantier leaves his home in search of work and arrives in the mining town of Montsou where the workers are poorly paid while the ruthless mine bosses get richer. Disturbed by what he sees, Lantier starts to organise the miners into fighting for justice... Based on the classic novel by Emile Zola.
