The Well Digger's Daughter
AroView: Actor Daniel Auteuil covets the art house with his directorial debut – a bright, old-fashioned adaptation of a Marcel Pagnol novel centred on a feud between two families in pastoral 1930’s France. He plays a father who is torn between his sense of honour and his deep love for his daughter when she gets in trouble with the wealthy son of a shopkeeper.
“It’s classical moviemaking of a sort rarely seen now, a love story of surprising joy with rounded, flawed but humane characters.” ~Minneapolis Star Tribune
