Rémi sans famille

Having grown up with the caricature, and the written novel, after the multiple chapters of stories and adventures between Mr. Vitali and Remi, I can say that the film was too short, the Mr. Vitali lacked a little more harshness in the character, although the expression of the child that makes remi is correct could be better more from him ,Remi have to much to give. That feeling of empathy to their sad eventualities as it is the novel, was something that I lack in this film, it is achieved in a certain way an empathy but for those who read and grow up with that story, it leaves you with a feeling of emptiness, it's fine but not ... the photography is quite pleasant in the film, there is no doubt that the locations were successful, although generations that had never heard of Remi, feel a pity for the character, but to be honest needed much more tragedy and a little more film . you get to the end so fast, and at the end of the plot that leaves you with I want more, I think the right thing would have been a trilogy, in the best of cases the classic part 1 and 2, so that the story had more impact and a better outcome of the plot.

It is always nice to pick up things from childhood.

I got to watch this movie because my father and brother love the novel, i myself have never read it. Knowing almost nothing about the plot, after the film finished I felt unsatisfy because even though this film has all the material needed to become a classic: great acting, good music, great original plot from the novel,... but it missed the struggle needed to make us feel for Remi (the main character). Basically in his status he should have had an excruciating hard life but instead in this movie almost every people loved him and treat him kind and protect him, he never actually has to do anything on his own to survive and in the end he still get happily rewarded. So that really make me feel unsatisfy because the movie could have been so much better. Thank you for reading until the end, forgive me if there are mistakes in this review because I'm not a native English user.

Writer and sometimes movie director Hector Marlot's SANS FAMILLE has a following among generations of young readers who grew up with it. It seems to inspire a film version every decade, including a silent made by the author.

I hadn't previously encountered it myself and it reaches me as something from the class end of the Kid Film Spectrum, with the handsome surface of current costume adventure films like LES TROIS MOUSKETEERS - here scaled down.

The plausibly ten year old hero is an orphan whose rural travels bring him into the care of Itinerant musician Dan Auteuil, with his pet monkey and particularly winning dog. Rather than stay as a companion to grow into servant for the ill girl on the nice river barge, the boy sets out to find his real mother, encountering angry wolves and menacing fraudsters in a derelict town house from which he must be saved. Mix in a bit of Dickens and Stevenson.

The makers find room for assured players like Valerie Ledoyen and Jacques Perin matched by equally effective unknowns. Grand parents with conservative taste will feel they've done the right thing showing this one to children dumped in their care.

With todays garbage movies this is a very nice movie. I loved this story as a kid. In this movie the acting was fine musici nice and excellent visuals.

If they made it a bit longer and added the missing story parts and characters I would have given This movie a 9 of 10

A really beautiful movie with good acting and a good story
