The Peace Dale Library's 2016 French Film Festival continues on Wednesday, April 13, 2 PM, with a showing of the 1986 film Manon of the Spring, directed by Claude Berri and starring Yves Montand and Emanuelle Béart. This film is the sequel to last month's movie, Jean de Florette, in which malicious farmers block the only water source to an adjoining farm during a year of drought, resulting in the death of their neighbor and their ultimate success in purchasing the farm at a low price from his widow. Manon of the Spring focuses on Jean de Florette's now-grown daughter Manon, who as a child witnessed the neighbors' gleeful opening of the water source soon after her father's funeral, and how she exacts revenge on those who conspired to make it happen.
