a cruel romantic tale by Julien Duvivier, I couldn't believe it
20 March 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Just before his masterpiece Voici Le Temps Des Assassins, Julien Duvivier directed that not too well known romantic and out of time tale, settled in a castle in mountains and forest next to a lake.

And so graphic. Far from cities.

I won't tell no more, everything has been said by other reviewers, especially the french one, always accurate in french cinema. Just try to fetch this one without too many informations, don't spoil your pleasure.

Yes, you will discover another side of Duvivier's talent, a cruel romantic tale with haunting scenes. And every scenes with deers are delightful until the ultimate scene. Is it an accident, Duvivier will direct a similar scene in his next movie and masterpiece, Voici Le Temps Des Assassins.

I just regret I didn't see that incredible tale when I was around ten, it would have haunted me all my life. Like Les Sont Faits directed by Jean Delannoy. Another forgotten gem.

Yes, strange movies are strangely forgotten. Why?
