Chicago Reader

By reputation, this glorious 1934 feature by Marcel Pagnol is his very best, though it's atypical in that it adapts the work of another writer, a novel by Jean Giono. Set in Provence, like most Pagnol works, and filmed exclusively on location and in direct sound, it recounts the story of a farmer's daughter seduced by a pimp from Marseilles; she follows him to the city, has an illegitimate child, and becomes a prostitute, which leads to serious conflict with her father when she returns to the farm. With Orane Demazis, Fernandel, and Jean Servais.

Sorry there are no showtimes for Angele on Saturday, November 7.
