Beautifully shot and featuring splendid performances
This movie, in Norway titled “Summer in the Loire valley”, is most likely the best one Eric Cantona ever starred in and he does a good job as the disgraced boxer Jo Sardi looking for revenge in the Loire valley. What really makes this film a treat is the beautiful landscapes, excellent photography and also the splendid performances by Cantona and others. It also has a good story which is interesting to follow. This is a heartwarming movie to enjoy on any night.It is almost worth a 10, but I give it a 9 because the story is not engaging enough. This was obviously a film that was made for a wide audience and therefore has a lighter tone. Still, it is nonetheless a very good film which gives us Cantona at his best. And that is a reason enough to watch it.
“What an Adventure!”
Children Marshlands is one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. It tells a period that does not exist anymore. After-war (first world war) seen by a little girl: Cricri. The simple happiness of living in the marshes and the joy of being “the last free men”. The movie starts with Garris (Jacques Gamblin) and Riton (Jacques Villeret) picking lily of the valley, as it is the day before May, the 1st.Two friends who are walking on the same path for a while, where everyday is rocked with courtesy, respect, friendship, sudden changes in mood … and nothing can prevent them both from living the way they want. Cricri, Riton’s daughter, will fall in love with “Pierrot from town”, “Pépé La Rainette” (Michel Serrault) grand-son. Pépé used to live in the marsh and after working very hard he made a fortune, but remains illiterate. The first time he meets Garris in the marsh, I expected the shock of two universes (rich-poor), but Pépé did not forget where he came from. A friendship that will never die. We also meet Amédé (André Dussolier), rich man who never worked in his entire life, books and Jazz lover ; he will discover the snails gathering “What an adventure!”.
You will meet a lot of unforgettable characters like Jo the boxer (Eric Cantona), Tane the railwayman (Jacques Boudet) or Madame Mercier (Gisèle Casadesus) the old lady by Pépé’s house. Delightful ! Children Marshlands is a painting full of life and the simple joys of existence. To be seen again and again, with friends, family, even alone. It will be a consolation for you for the rest of the day, of the week, or more.
