Storyline
Featured review
The answer is blowing in the wind
Based on historical fact, the story takes place in 1634 , in the reign of Louis the Thirteenth ;at the time,in the south of France ,scientists were very interested in meteorology .A former monk,converted to Protestantism, is put in charge of carrying out an investigation into the origin of these winds which blow around the Mount ventoux,particularly the Pontias .
The cinematography is splendid , the story is told with a sense of mystery , dealing with science and religion ; when science was not able to explain some phenomenons ,shall one call them miracles?And even if one finds an explanation , God's hand can be felt everywhere in the nature.
The torments of the flesh -which is weak - come to visit the hero who could marry as any Reformed minister;his life is as elusive as the wind.
The hero,Gabriel Boule ,would come back to Catholicism later on;he's mentioned in Lionel Baillemont's following effort "Mademoiselle de la Charce ". Not for all tastes ,but this director will be a name to reckon with in the years to come.
