Manon des Sources / Manon of the Spring / Jean de Florette II (1986)
Drama
This sequel to 1986's Jean de Florette stars Emmanuelle Beart as Manon (the daughter of Jean de Florette's protagonist). Manon has grown up to become a beautiful woman, a shy and resourceful shepherdess who lives in relative seclusion from the townspeople of her provencal village, haunted by the tragic death of her father (played by Gerard Depardieu in part one). An outsider, like her father, Manon stays high up in the rugged hills preferring the company of her sheep to her nearby neighbors Cèsar (Yves Montand) and Ugolin (Daniel Auteuil). One fateful day, Manon discovers the real reason why her father's spring ran dry and comes up with a powerful revenge to exact on the men responsible for her father's downfall. Manon's action changes her life forever and uncovers long-hidden family secrets that powerfully affect the local villagers.

NOTES………: This USA source has the highest bitrate (and 5.1 audio) with almost the same colors/brightness as the French BD, whereas the Dutch BD is brightened and was cleaned up around the edges of the image, which resulted in a little loss of details. I made a hybrid fix by overlaying the bottom two pixels from the dutch source, they contained less artefacts, then fixed the sides dirty pixels with overlay and BalanceBorders. There were two scenes that needed 1px bottom overcrop to avoid the appearance of the artefacts.
