Le Château de Ma Mère(1990)

Description

In this sequel to La Gloire de Mon Pere, writer Marcel Pagnol's memoirs of childhood continue to captivate. Devasteted at having to leave his wondrous hills of Provence, where his family had spent the summer, Marcel is elated when they return for Christmas and the Easter. Before long they are heading for their rural retreat every weekend, and the long journey there soon brings its own adventure. As Marcel's affectionate reminiscences draw to a close, we are left with a wonderfully poignant conclusion to these classics of modern French cinema.
