Feels like the writers were set to finish the series but then the show got renewed and they cut out a sensible ending and put in a terrible one that gives no explanation why Jean stays, just so they can have un saison deux.

Watched the Criterion Collection DVD just released and the interview with Director Renoir was a joy. He's quite a character. Scorcese's interview had some spoiler material,so watch AFTER the movie. Rumer Goden BBC documentary is as beautiful as the movie. The movie itself is almost a documentary in the cinematography. Many of the people aren't professional actors, but that isn't a problem. Hard to believe that Valerie plays Julie Christie's mom in just 14 years in Dr Zhivago, and then is in A Clockwork Orange. I would assume that much of the "native" events are real and not contrived, but unless you're a native from the 1950's, I'm not sure how you would know. It certainly seems a big step up from Gunga Din.
