I finally managed to see this movie...after so many years of expectancy...I was so curious to see if this movie it is as bad as some people say..And my opinion is that this movie it wasn't bad at all,on the contrary it was AMAZING...I enjoyed every second from it...from the beginning until the end...The actors were great they sent me the feeling that i was living the story at the same time as the movie was playing...The landscapes were so beautiful were the film was shot...and it did charmed me.. Also the music was extraordinary and i have nothingto reproach..I think that the plot was very original i don't think that i saw a movie like this...It is a shame that it isn't recognized all over the world..to bad for those who didn't get the chance to see it. i give this movie 10/10

So boring you'll fall asleep after the 20 first minutes. Sorry Mr Boutonnat, I do admire your work (all these beautiful "films" you directed such as "Tristana", "Sans logique" etc...) but here, the plot is extremely... vain ! Except the magnificent photography, everything appears dumb and there's no envy to know what will happen at these "medium" actors. Moreover, the dialogs are minimalists. The famous question "where are the children" is repeated so often it looks like a farce. Believe me, it's a pure waste of time (concerning the plot), and 3 hours is a long long time. Certainly the real reason of this box-office total mess !

Giorgino can to some people look a bit long but it's one of rare real romantique adventure film. It could be compare to Docter Jivago with a bit of Sleepy Holow. You must see it.

That's certainly not the best film ever. But that's certainly worth seeing for people with a special kind of mind. So the one who loves sadness and depression, and scary fairy-tales at night, and wolves and real madness - welcome! If you find a copy, of course:) As for me, I could stand it only once... But since that the Wolves, and Saint-Lucy, and children's drawings, and a headless Christ live in my nightmares.
