Based on the autobiography of Marcel Pagnol, this film is a visual feast and evocative of a bygone era. The acting is good and the children particularly well cast. A tender and touching film about a son's growing awareness of his father's humanity. Worth seeing for the dramatic scenery alone but I also liked the sound track. The companion film, La Chateau de Ma Mere, was made back to back and continues Marcel's story and so ends on a more sombre note than the first film.
