humanity: the greatest works transcend time, culture, language. Can a non-German appreciate Brahms 2nd Piano Concerto? A non-Greek the Acropolis? Sure, those works may have some additional meaning to a native familiar with the cultural significance but those are still towering masterpieces of HUMAN achievement. Any person with a father, mother, son, daughter or who has loved will find Pagnol's film(s) to be classics.
