Cornélius, le meunier hurlant

From the first scènes of this cute little feature, I thought about Pierre Richard, back to the seventies, when he played naive and offbeat characters. But that's not entirely a comedy, everything is not funny. Some sequences may be even painful to watch, such as these one when the poor man is howling; we don't know why...A sad tale actually, about loneliness and intolerance, nature and happiness. I am not surprised that only a handful of people went to see this film, not destined to wide silly sheep herd audiences., worth going to a slaughterhouse. I love this film, only for this Reason, because it was mostly ostracized.

...and the best motif is its profound French film status. No surprises, not revelations. A story so familiar than you know each detail from the first minute. The humor - familiar too. A miller, a village, a superficial sketch of love story, the conflict between villagers and strangers, something from Guy de Maupassant short stories and almost nothing more. It is obvious, it do not represents a great film. Only a nice one, for a precise target, maybe, seductive for high predictibility and for the performances. So, a miller and a village, in sauce of absurde.

The movie is a masterpiece. It was an amazing movie that I would love to watch again. I really enjoyed it and I felt moved after watching it. I fell in love with the main character. I really understood him and understood what he stood for. I believe that it is an amazing film that should be watched in every Canadian, French or francophone speaking country. I also now love the director, main character and everyone else. It is an amazing movie. This is an amazing film that would be perfect for a family movie night. PLEASE WATCH THIS MOVIE IF YOU HAVE THE TIME. 10/10 should watch.
