My Father's Glory (1990)


- 2 1/2 Eberts

I watched another of Roger's 4 star movies. It was based on a novel by Marcel Pagnol who had also written Jean de Florette and Manon of the Spring and had also helped make them into movies. They have always been two of my favorite movies.
I was a little disappointed in My Father's Glory. It was a nice, sweet slice of life film, but there was very little plot or drama. Roger, in his review, points out that it should be seen with its companion movie, My Mother's Castle.
I have put My Mother's Castle in my queue, and after I see it maybe I will like My Father's Glory better. On its own, I thought it was just fair.
