Slant Magazine

Long available only on insufficient DVD transfers and in tattered prints, The Marseille Trilogy finally arrives on Blu-ray boasting a radiant image and a boatload of extras worthy of Marcel Pagnol's inimitable wit and style.

Pagnol gives the illusion of naturalism through the vivid energy and affection of his characters.

Pagnol's directed chapter happens to be one of the more visually innovative, utilizing swipe transitions and offering a bit more jaunty energy thanks to shifting locales.

Rated: 4/5

The Retro Set

The camerawork was primarily unobtrusive and the mise-en-scène as non-extravagant as possible. The audience was an eavesdropper, and might as well have been sitting at the kitchen table alongside the actors.

Rated: 7/10

The final entry in the Marseilles Trilogy that attempts to tie up all the loose ends. The story of Fanny's son who is now 18 & desperate to know his real father Marius. The film is garnered with great characters & glistening dialogue. These films where so popular with Alice Waters (Lady who pioneered Californian Cuisine) she named her restaurant after one of the main characters. A timeless love story set in an unforgettable era of French Life.

Orane Demazis was such a talented actress! Raimu, Pierre Fresnay and Raimu are stunning in this third and final movie.

Although not as strong as either of the first two films in the trilogy, there is still an intense amount of goodwill toward these characters as they try to reach a resolution after 20 years of turmoil.

like the other 2 in the series, i was intensely bored. i dont think that pagnols films have aged as well as marcel, renoir, or vigo.still, the first 20 minutes was pretty funny and the film, and the trilogy, had a lot of heart
