A FLICKER BIT
THE WELL DIGGERS DAUGHTER
This fantastic film is made for lovers. And where else could
a story get a tight grip on your emotions? And those places are the real
locations in Provence, Aubagne, Salon, and other dramatic locations.
All in all everyone in the film gives amazing performances.
The breathtaking cinematography literally takes your breath away. This
marvelous French Film brings tears and high emotions to the simple story of
boy, who meets a childlike girl. The time is the early years of WW 1 takes
place of course in France. That makes sense – but what amazed me was the
addition of Italian songs as a backdrop. Of course, I loved the music – who
wouldn’t? Also fantastic is the glorious landscapes of trees, sunshine and yes
the music was beautiful. Who couldn’t fall in love with that atmosphere?
The young man seduces the young girl. He leaves her behind
to go to the war. His parents are rich – her parents are not. He made her
pregnant – he was not aware.
I won’t give away the ending. Did he die in a plane crash as
they say – or did he come home to the girl that he left behind. There are lots
of sub plots in the story. Every bit of it is intriguing. Tears welled up in my
eyes – and you will most probably do the same.
This is a wonderful moving, beautiful film with great actors
and good direction. The movie is utterly irresistible! You’ll fall in love with
the seductive pilot. It’s not hard to see why the innocent young woman falls
into his trap. See it on a big
screen – or rent a DVD. It’s a “Do Not Miss!”
