How to Finally Realize What Was Really Happening All Along

The film, by the way, was Jean De Florette. Here’s the trailer:

Available on DVD through www.umbrellaent.com.au Buy it here: http://www.umbrellaent.com.au/p-1649-jean-de-florette.aspx City-dweller Jean de Florette (Gerard Depardieu - Cyrano De Bergerac, Green Card) moves his family to the Provence countryside in the 1920s to forge a new life as a farmer.

It is, by all accounts, an excellent film, but a bunch of high school juniors from Sunnyside, Washington were not exactly the target audience.

“Oh, that poor man lives on a farm somewhere that it doesn’t rain much. That must be awful.”

(Note, the trailer doesn’t really go into a lot of detail about his crops, but a clip available on YouTube shows that he grew corn, marrows, and rabbits. It’s the thirsty rabbits that really stuck in my head.)
