My Father's Glory (1991)

One of the most beautiful films ever crafted.

This is my most favorite film in the whole world. Absolutely beautiful and real. I have all of Marcel Pagnol's books and had to have his films. What a wonderful, though short lived time in history this was.
Life changing and a film much needed in todays world of misrey and sadness. If you need to bottle happiness up for latter when you need it, then watch this film and you will have a wonderful memory and walk away content knowing that this film's story really happened and was about real people who lived just a time or so ago.

Enjoyable follow-on to My Father's Glory.

A glimpse in time to a southern French family's country get-aways and heartwarming reflections on childhood perspectives. A lovely movie...

The finest film ever made

Perfection. That's it. Flawless in every production value, every sound, every image, every word, every expression. There is no other film to my knowledge to equal it. Captivating and timeless, it never disappoints. February 20, 2008

Excellent cinema. A slice of life. Good rendering of Pagnol.

I personally really enjoyed the film. I love Provence, and have read some Marcel Pagnol books, and this rendering is very good. The accent, the actors. Wonderful experience. November 21, 2007

my all-time favorite story of childhood -

this isn't sappy or childish in any way - and it is profoundly affecting in how it shows life as it should be, and very easily Could Be. for those of us who did not have a precious and protected childhood, this is a chance to see what that might be like. this was very renewing for me to watch, at a time where life had lost its sweetness for me. i can't imagine anyone who would not love the time spent seeing this movie, again and again. this would make a great baby gift or holiday present for a young family - April 22, 2007
