Movie Reviews of Heidi
Movie Review: I can't say they make the best of the original material
Summary: 3 Stars
First, the director obviously likes close-up shots very much. You'll face full-screen faces and faces every minute. Some may love them, but I.
Second, the story covers several episodes and dialogues in the original novel, and stuffed them into 100 minutes film. Result, it's lacking rhyme or reason a little bit.
How Heidi delighted people ? How she opened up her grandpa ?
How mountain air worked Clara's body ?
Unfortunately, in this film, explanation of these main themes of this lovable classic work are almost omitted. So if you haven't read the novel, you may be puzzled by the story (On the other hand, some poor arrangement are added - Granpa's attitude when Heidi came back from Frankfurt, for instance.)
Of course a movie can be different from its original story.
But this movie isn't one in which they attempt to create new 'another Heidi', or I can't say they make the best of the original material. Which I feel sorry for very much.
However, some actor(esse)s are nice (I like the hand-organ player boy.)
19th century settings are happy to watch, and the mountain sceneries also fascinating (the end title tells it was filmed in Slovenia and Wales.)
