His early masterpieces Marius, Fanny, and César mix theatrical stagecraft with realistic location photography to create an epic love story from the fabric of everyday life. Gruff, sentimental César (music-hall star Raimu) owns a waterfront bar in the old port of Marseille, where his son, Marius (Pierre Fresnay), wipes down tables and dreams of a life at sea. The prosperous, middle-aged sailmaker Panisse (Fernand Charpin), wanting to wed Marius’s sweetheart, Fanny (Orane Demazis), sets up a generation-spanning romantic triangle, the story of which unfolds in a series of fateful twists in the films of The Marseille Trilogy, which first earned Pagnol his place in cinema history. “If Pagnol is not the greatest auteur of the sound film,” critic André Bazin wrote, “he is in any case something akin to its genius.”THREE-BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restorations of all three films, with uncompressed monaural soundtracksNew introduction by filmmaker Bertrand TavernierNew interview with Nicolas Pagnol, writer-director Marcel Pagnol’s grandsonSegments of Marcel Pagnol: Morceaux de choisis, a 1973 documentary series on Pagnol’s life and workShort documentary on the Marseille harbor by PagnolArchival interviews with actors Orane Demazis, Pierre Fresnay, and Robert VattierPagnol’s Poetic Realism, a new video essay by scholar Brett BowlesFrench television clip about the restoration of the trilogyTheatrical rerelease trailerNew English subtitle translations PLUS: An essay by film critic Michael Atkinson and excerpts from Pagnol’s memoirs" GENRE: DRAMA/COMEDY LANGUAGE: French SUBTITLES: English AUDIO: Uncompressed Monaural PCM Widescreen TIME: 395 Minutes B&WCopyright DirectToU LLC.
