Jean de Florette, to my mind , is at least one of the greatest 100 films ever made. To see the final moments, when Yves Montand realizes what he has done in bringing about the death of his own son, without having ever realized it was his son, and then prepares to take his exit from earthly life,because that is the only thing he can do with this knowledge , is to understand tragedy, once and for all. And no other film I can think of has ever been able to express it with this level of maturity.
