Overview

"Fanny" is the second part of the "Marseille trilogy", made by Marcel Pagnol with the generic name of "Marius, Fanny and César". Fanny falls in love and is abandoned by Marius. Now she discovers she is pregnant. Her mother and Marius's father, César, persuade her to accept the romantic advances of a much older man. To save face, Fanny accepts to marry Honoré Panisse, a rich merchant of the Vieux Port, 30 years her senior who will recognize her son.

Rotten

Mr. Auteuil's passion project is sincere but not successful, honorable but not alive.

Ben Kenigsberg, New York Times
Fresh

Fanny has a stagy sensibility, but Auteuil displays flashes of genuine, old-school craft.

Danny King, Village Voice
