Featured review
Robin Hood: The French version!
The average rating found on this site surprises me, honestly. I consider it to be the pinnacle of 1960's filmmaking.
Unfortunately, this film has been lost in the archives.
It is a good film because it succeeds in arousing in the spectator a great variety of emotions: the suspense due to the adventure, the romance due to the love relationship of the protagonist, the laughter due to the burlesque elements of the beginning or the anguish towards the third act.
This is due to the successful mix of genres that is manifested during the progression of the story: satire, romance and adventure.
Belmondo plays a character whose lack of humility and loyalty is glaring, but whose courage and sense of economic justice are admirable! And he plays beautifully with his reluctant face and charming eloquence.
Cardinale, too, is admirable in her role, which impresses not only with her looks but also with her ambiguous vulnerability of character. Her funeral was quite memorable.
Furthermore, I particularly appreciated the part of the budget devoted to the visual reconstruction of the period. In short, the part devoted to the design of the production.
The location, the south of France, was also a positive element for me.
Finally, the music is also triumphant.
