Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The Horseman On The Roof. Comment: The Horseman On The Roof is a supurb timeless action packed classic set in a region of France where the writer Peter Mayle of Bon Appertite, A Year In provence etc now resides. The acting of Juliette Binoche and Olivier Martinez does real justice to the plot in which danger, excitement, and passion unfold in a world ravaged by revolution and violence, and plague. If only the sub-titles were also expressed in French, The Horseman On The Roof would make an excellent learning medium of the French language. Customer Rating: Summary: Had to own it. Comment: I saw this on TV and wanted to see it again. After waiting for some time and not catching it again, I decided to actually buy it from Amazon. I like history and knew little of this era and found the movie very interesting. I think that the main characters did an excellent job. I highly recommend this movie to those who haven't seen it. However, beware of some of the scenes of people dying of the plague as they are graphic but that was the way it was. Customer Rating: Summary: The Horseman on the Roof Comment: I purchased this particular movie for a good friend of mine. The item arrived to Canada much more quickly than was quoted and for less money than expected. Once I delivered the movie to my friend, she watched it immediately. After years of looking and only able to watch grainy and indistinct footage on cable channels she says she is thrilled with the clarity and sound of the DVD. Both she and I would be more than happy to order through Borders/Waldenbooks and Amazon.com again. Customer Rating: Summary: La Provence et la mort Comment: there is not much to say except that: 1) Jean Giono is an outstanding writer 2) Rappeneau is a great director 3) Binoche is a wonderful actress 4) the story is magnificent. 5) Provence is a gorgeous country... Of course, I did not see the zone 1 DVD, and I am sorry to learn the the movie has been cut; I really did like the movie when it came out and Provence adds a lot to any story. Customer Rating: Summary: Don't Cough on Me! Comment: We loved this movie. I loved Juliette Binoche in "Chocolat" and wanted to see her in a foreign film with subtitles. She was wonderful and I am now a new fan of Olivier Martinez also. Just close your eyes during the sick cholera vomiting scenes. Yuk! We are traveling to Europe this year and I am craving French and Italian films. Would recommend this film to anyone that loves foreign, romance and drama films. More Reviews
