Jean de Florette and Manon des Sources (Manon of the Spring) is a 1986 French movie duology concerning a city man and his family after they inherit a plot of land rich in resources in Provence (Southern France). They are adaptations of Marcel Pagnol's novels of the same name.The first movie, Jean de Florette, involves the plotting of the farmer Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil) and his cunning uncle César (Yves Montand) he calls "Le Papet", as they work to subtly drive a young city man named Jean (Gérard Depardieu) off the plot of land he has inherited from his mother, Florette.The second movie, Manon des Sources, takes place 10 years later and involves Jean's daughter, Manon (Emmanuelle Béart), as she solves the mystery of what happened to her father and deals justice to the village that condemned him.An earlier film, also called Manon des Sources, was made in 1953, but due to writer/director Pagnol's dissatisfaction over the cutting of his intended four hour film led to the story being rewritten as a novel with the addition of a prequel, called Jean de Florette. The two volumes are known together as L'Eau des collines (The Water of the Hills). From these two books, the two films were eventually made.Both films were critically acclaimed, and were nominated for and won numerous awards, including 10 BAFTAs. The second film significantly boosted the career of Emmanuelle Béart. | |

Manon des Sources / int_20860a0e | comment |
Punch-Clock Villain: On the one hand, Ugolin bats as much an eye as Cesar does when he gets the farm, but at the same time he seems easily manipulated by Cesar and doesn't want anyone to get hurt, he just wanted to grow carnations. He even was good at appearing to be a good friend to Jean and when Jean dies he is wracked with guilt and cries, though this doesn't last long. | |

French Jerk | |
Manon des Sources / int_2dd7a113 | comment |
French Jerk: The Papet accidentally kills early in Jean de Florette (after he insulted Cesar's family honor). He seems to be a mix of a stereotypical American Redneck (complete with wanting to be buried with his gun) and a stereotypical French Jerk (of the "I fart in your general direction" type). | |

Your Son All Along | |
Manon des Sources / int_2f9a0236 | comment |
Your Son All Along: In the first film, the Villain Protagonist wants the titular Jean to sell him his land, and plays many tricks on him to pursuade him to do so. It doesn't help that Jean is the son of his childhood sweetheart Florette, who left him and married another man while he was away at war. In the end, he successfully drives Jean to his death and takes the land. In the second film Jean's daughter, Manon, takes revenge for her father's death. It is only at the end of this film that the main character discovers that, contrary to what he thought, Jean was not Florette's son by her husband, but his own son, and that he has unwittingly caused the death of his only child and been in conflict with his granddaughter! | |

Heart in the Wrong Place: Ugolin becomes a Stalker with a Crush for Manon, and stitches a discarded hair ribbon directly to his skin, supposedly over his heart but actually on the left side of his chest. Not that the exact position really matters, as all it gives him is a revolting infection. | |

Manipulative Bastard: Cesar does not care what gets in his way when it comes to taking the farm to grow the carnations. He goes from outright killing a person in person to having Ugolin pretend to befriend Jean only to secretly sabotage his attempts at making an honest living which ends up getting Jean killed as he becomes desperate and he doesn't even bat an eye once it's all over until Ugolin kills himself and it is revealed Jean was his son. | |

Covers Always Lie: The poster of "Jean de Florette" as depicted above, may suggest an encounter between the Papet and the eponymous character. The two of them never interact in person. This becomes a huge Plot Point later, as Cesar aknowledges in his dying letter, that, had he actually met the man he destroyed, he might have had a chance to recognise his son. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
Manon des Sources / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: The villagers invoke this trope, believing that their water drying up is a divine punishment for their complicity by inaction in Jean's death. It's actually due to Manon stopping up the source. Once they confess their guilt and denounce The Papet and Ugolin, she unblocks it but lets them believe it's due to divine intervention. The Soubeyrans pay the heavy price of their crimes: Ugolin falls in love with the girl who will never want him and the Papet sees his family name die with him, which he did everything in the novel to prevent. | |

Confessional | |
Manon des Sources / int_90f6d157 | comment |
Confessional: Used and referred to several times in Manon of the Spring, as the village is Catholic. The Papet suspects this is how the priest knows what he and Ugolin did — the villagers got carried away and started confessing other people's sins. | |

Heel Realization | |
Manon des Sources / int_9591377d | comment |
Heel Realization: Twice. In both cases they knew that they were being selfish/evil, but did not realize to what extent. First, the villagers finding out that the man they refused to help was not a stranger, but Florette's son. Second, César finding out that the man he drove insane and eventually caused to die was his son, and Manon his granddaughter. He does not takes this well. | |

My God, What Have I Done? | |
Manon des Sources / int_a1b141f4 | comment |
My God, What Have I Done?: Rather heartbreakingly in Manon of the Spring. Ugolin is wracked with guilt , spending nights walking in the property and speaking to Jean as if he could hear him and forgive him. He ends up committing suicide when his guilt and unrequited feelings get too much to bear. Much of the Papet's motivation for the plot against Jean was spite, as he's the son of the woman who left him while he was fighting in the war. He only realizes the true extent of his despicable actions when Delphine tells him that Jean is his child, too — the letter Florette sent him on this topic was lost in the war. | |

Not So Stoic | |
Manon des Sources / int_a8a4b41e | comment |
Not So Stoic: As a child, Manon is portrayed as a silent observer of everything that goes on between her family and Ugolin. But as soon as she sees Ugolin and César unblock the spring, she runs away screaming and eventually looks upon the land her father lost to those two tricksters, with tears in her eyes. | |

Dramatic Irony | |
Manon des Sources / int_ab5eea65 | comment |
Dramatic Irony: The Papet would stop at nothing to see his nephew Ugolin become rich and father many children, so that his family would not die with them. He kills, sabotages, lies and leads a man to his death for this. If only he knew that the man who died before his actions was the heir he wanted and married to boot, who could have struck rich if he did not sabotage the water spring on his property. | |

Near-Rape Experience | |
Manon des Sources / int_ae4845db | comment |
Near-Rape Experience: Ugolin tells Manon that he was "tempted to commit a crime" when he saw her bathing. For all the creepiness of his obsession with her, this particular idea, fortunately, never goes further than his thoughts and he never touches Manon without her permission (which is to say, never at all). | |

Fish out of Water: Jean in Jean de Florette. The movie centers on him, an ex-tax collector from the city, trying to adapt to country farming life. He believes he can learn and succeed at anything with enough preparation. He can't, though sabotage was involved, so he might have if he had been left alone. | |
