This film is a real treat in its caracterization, plot, costuming, scenery, camerawork, everything! I just wish the translation were better - the French version of some of the dialogue was lost, not just because of language nuances but because of random omission of fairly important words and phrases. Malheureusement, I don't think reading the English does the wonderful film justice. Autrement, formidable!
