The Worst Film Ever
Absolutely the worst movie.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
As a child i read "Sans Famille" numerous times. I always thought it would make a wonderful film and wonder why it never made it to the big screen. Well, the past few weeks I've been hooked on my telly when I accidentally found the TV series. It's amazing how much it follows the book, though some adventures Remi has alone are left behind but I think that helps us stick to the main story. The landscapes are amazing and the whole work has a romantic whiff. Watching this TV series takes me back to my childhood. The actor playing Vitalis is just perfect for the character. I haven't watched all episodes so far to have a complete overview but I consider it a very good children's series and not just for children. It sure does remind me of the kid I used to be.Wonderful job by the actors, amazing landscapes, follows the book with touching music, it's almost better than the book. 9/10
