Description: Friday, November 9 – 7:30 pm The Well-Digger's Daughter (Film) 2011 (Not Rated) 109 min. France/subtitles Director: Daniel Auteuil Cast: Daniel Auteuil, Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Nicolas Duvauchelle Daniel Auteuil (star of Claude Berri’s adaptations of Marcel Pagnol’s JEAN DE FLORETTE and MANON OF THE SPRING) makes his directorial debut with this affectionate remake of a Pagnol classic. This sun-soaked melodrama stars Auteuil as Pascal Amoretti, a hard-working well-digger who is raising six girls on his own, after the death of his wife. Holding a special place in his heart is his beautiful eldest daughter, 18-year-old Patricia, who has come home from school in Paris to help care for her sisters. Patricia soon catches the eye of Jacques, the playboy son of a rich storekeeper. Their attraction quickly blossoms into something more, and when Jacques, a pilot, is suddenly called away to fight in the Great War, Patricia is left alone to face the consequences of their passion. Upon learning that he is about to become a grandfather, Pascal is torn between honor and his love for his daughter. This is a beautiful story of love, family, work, and honor that never gets too sentimental but earns the many tears and smiles it evokes. Beautifully shot in the Provence countryside, the film captures all the warmth and humanist spirit of Pagnol’s original work. This is an uplifting, joyful movie, something we all need to experience from time to time. Film Admission Patrons, except LCCC students/faculty/staff with valid ID, must purchase an annual membership in the LCCC Film Society for $3.00/each, which is good for the entire season (September through the last film of the 2013 Winter/Spring Film Series).
