I’ve just finished reading Jean de Florette by Marcel Pagnol.
Set in the mountains above Aubagne , it tells the story of the fight for water in Provence and what it drives men to do.
Having read the book we have now watched the film.
I learnt lots of new words but my favourite line is said by the evil Papet played by Yves Montand in the film:
Quand on a commencé d’étrangler le chat, il faut le finir.
