What a beautiful journey this is. French author and director Marcel Pagnol recounts his childhood memories. He focuses primarily on his childhood holidays. His youth smells of lavender, sounds of crickets, tastes of partridge, and feels as warm as the Provençal sun. I immediately felt like packing my car and leaving. It all seems rather idealized, but on the other hand, as a viewer, you're watching people happy with the simplicity of life. Pagnol's boundless admiration for his father is also highlighted, particularly during a hunting trip with Uncle Jules . Heartwarming, sometimes funny, never sad, and undeniably a pleasant, unforgettable memory. The perfect summer film.

Ode to Provence and...living like God in France, with the deep impressions an eleven-year-old retains from his long holiday as its main subject.

A good film that may lack some tension, but certainly makes up for this with its melancholy, sense of the beauty of nature and happiness, zest for life, and the natural charm that radiates from this French family.

The title felt so familiar that I actually thought I'd seen it ages ago. And indeed, ages ago. I gave it 4 stars back then, and now I do again. But this is the first time I'm writing about it. So, it's been a really long time since I've seen the film. And actually, I didn't remember it. But it's a beautiful film. A romantic film like an old children's book about a schoolboy who has a fantastic school holiday in the beautiful mountains of Provence. And the film captures that beautifully in terms of atmosphere and imagery. The film was released in 1990, but if you told me it was much older, I'd believe it. And not just because the story takes place around 1900.
