Version of Maria Chapdelaine (1950)

Good but the book is better

This movie follows the story as told by Louis Hémon in his book of the same name. Carole Laure is simply charming as Maria Chapdelaine, the daughter of a French-Canadian «colon». She's got to decide which pretender is she going to marry: the adventurous François Paradis (played by Nick Mancuso), Eutrope Gagnon the local farmer (played by Pierre Curzi) or Lorenzo Surprenant who works at a factory in New England (played by Donald Lautrec).

This movie frankly depicts the way of life of those who went north to farm the land and work in the forest industry.

The book is actually a classic in French-Canada, even though it was written by Louis Hémon, of France. The majority of high schools still have the book on their literature program.

8 out of 10.
