Editorial Reviews

Among a plentiful literary and cinematic bequest of Marcel Pagnol, producer laureate of Provence, is a two-volume memoir, My Father's Glory and My Mother's Castle. The huge success of Jean de Florette and Manon of a Spring (Claude Berri's 1986 remakes of dual Pagnol films from a '50s) speedy Yves Robert to fire another Pagnol diptych. Like Garlaban, a good steep suspended Pagnol's childhood home, a outcome is "less than a mountain, most some-more than a hill." The initial part, My Father's Glory, ps Marcel's early years from decline to preteen. The film keeps faith with a youthful subject, leaping from one quirky fact of landscape, character, or autobiography to a next--whatever has held a child's imagination and lingered in a adult narrator's memory. This creates for episodic storytelling, though it's an suitable approach to simulate childhood experience, and it doesn't forestall Robert from building amatory portraits of Pagnol's nearest and dearest, or profitable radiant reverence to a Provençal panorama Pagnol loved. You can roughly feel a sunshine, smell a furious thyme. --Richard T. Jameson
