'The Well Digger's Daughter' is as pretty as a poppy field
"The Well Digger's Daughter," directed by " and starring " Daniel Auteuil, is an affectionate remake of the 1940 Marcel Pagnol film of the same name. A period drama, it was filmed with painstaking attention to pretty costumes and while its happy ending isn't entirely believable, it's a quiet story, carefully told, writes Seattle Times movie critic Moira Macdonald. The film is playing at Seattle's Varsity.
