Movie Reviews of Whistle Down the Wind [Region 2]
Movie Review: Priceless!
Summary: 5 Stars
It just amazes me that this isn't in region 1 format. Fortunately if you have a region-free player, this UK production is very affordable at this time and it INCLUDES SUBTITLES!! A lot of UK discs that I buy don't have them so I was very happy to find this one did. Not that the English is overly difficult to understand anyway although the provincial British colloquialisms are abundant and made all the more charming by being able to read them as you watch the movie.
As for the movie, it's a very accessable little film that gets you interested in it right away and continues to move at a quick and engaging pace throughout. Simutaneously unaffectedly cute, allegorically profound, and ultimately moving, the film is a masterpiece of cinema both in the story that it tells and in the excellence of direction and cinematography that it employs. Don't miss this gem from 1961. It's only special feature (besides English subtitles) is a trailer for the movie. But the transfer is just great and worthy of purchase if you have the player to watch it on.
