Adapting the Marseillaise trilogy seems like a natural progression for writer-director Daniel Auteuil. (His directorial debut was a remake of Marcel Pagnol’s The Well Digger’s Daughter) This second part of Pagnol’s trilogy (César follows next year) follows on from Marius, albeit told from the perspective of Fanny. Life has moved on for Fanny, Marius and César. Auteuil explores how relationships have shifted over time, skilfully drawing on the deep well of humanity in Pagnol’s writing.
