Title: SUPERB ENTERTAINMENT
Review: This is one of those rare period pieces that doesn't age. Everything about it is wonderful: acting, photography, sets, costumes, screenplay, directing. It's a beautiful story also, and all the emotions are right and the characters are fresh despite the movie being based on a 19th century novel. And the swordplay is top-notch. The origanl French title is Le Bossu, or The Hunchback. If you like romance, action, a good period setting that's done with impecable taste and atistry, and a thoroughly enjoyable and charmingly involving fable, this is one to consider. I really loved it! Some (most!) of the imagery is just magnificent. There is a sequence of dissolves that is a work of art. It's fun and very satisfying. The image of the DVD is excellent as is the sound. A must!
