About this print — Every single frame of the movie Jean de Florette has been analysed and averaged to a single colour. These colours are then arranged chronologically to create a unique fine art composition that captures the entire visual journey of Claude Berri's film. Printed using archival pigment inks on 308gsm Hahnemühle photo rag fine art paper, each print is a museum-quality giclée produced to order and created in its original theatrical aspect ratio.
Director: Claude Berri
Writers : Claude Berri, Gérard Brach, Marcel Pagnol

In a rural French village an old man and his only remaining relative cast their covetous eyes on an adjoining vacant property. They need its spring water for growing their flowers, so are dismayed to hear the man who has inherited it is moving in. They block up the spring and watch as their new neighbour tries to keep his crops watered from wells far afield through the hot summer. Though they see his desperate efforts are breaking his health and his wife and daughter's hearts they think only of getting the water.
