Bringing to a close his "Marseille" trilogy, Cesar was one of Marcel Pagnol's most significant projects. This text reviews the questions that Pagnol posed in the film, looking at how he reflected the contemporary and artistic culture of the city, around which the trilogy was based.
I’m grateful that someone found the time to write this book, in this case Stephen Heath.
I found the book a very educating read. This is in part due to my not being familiar Marcel Pagnol’s work, not speaking French, not having a French cultural background and never having visited Marseillie, all areas covered by the book.
