Movie Reviews of My Mother's Castle
Movie Review: A Simple, Engaging tale from France 100 years ago
Summary: 4 Stars
A light-hearted story of a French family -- school-teacher father, resolute mother and several young kids -- and their annual trek across the country-side of southern France to their summer retreat. They navigate through a series of picturesque obstacles and the varied characters who occupy them, Some are suitably scarey ogres, others are cheerful surprises. There are dire threats to the father's livelihood and hard-won pride, and the warm glow of success for a mother's resolve. The English sound track is fine, but the original French is a wonderful way to taste the language in a natural setting.Movie Review: My Mother's Castle: a review
Summary: 4 Stars
For anyone who knows the intoxicating atmosphere of Provence in France, but does not have the privilege of living there, this film is a delightful escape to that brilliant landscape set at the end of a gentler and more decorous age, already tainted by the horrors of the twentieth century. A must-see if,like me, you wish to escape the horrors of twenty-first century cinema.Movie Review: Excellent Sequel to My Father's Glory
Summary: 4 Stars
A fine sequel to My Father's Glory. Again it is not an action film and the pace is slow. The saga of a boy's coming of age in provencial France continues including his first experience with the opposite sex. As indicated by the title much of the film revolves around his mother. It ends with the boys having become an adult.
