    A moment of Pure Poetry...

    How to summarize this film ? it is simply impossible. Why you should see it ? maybe for the story, very probably for the actors (Giorgio, Catherine...), above all for the universe and the poetry. This is a tale. Sad, sometimes dark, but a tale. I LOVE this film !!!! Just waiting for the DVD !! Thank you mister Boutonnat.

    I am amazed

    I finally managed to see this movie...after so many years of expectancy...

    I was so curious to see if this movie it is as bad as some people say..

    And my opinion is that this movie it wasn't bad at all,on the contrary it was AMAZING...

    I enjoyed every second from it...from the beginning until the end...

    The actors were great they sent me the feeling that i was living the story at the same time as the movie was playing...

    The landscapes were so beautiful were the film was shot...and it did charmed me.. Also the music was extraordinary and i have nothing

    to reproach..

    I think that the plot was very original i don't think that i saw a movie like this...

    It is a shame that it isn't recognized all over the world..to bad for those who didn't get the chance to see it. i give this movie 10/10

    Things Are Never Quite So Bad That They Can't Go Worse...

    Giorgino is a long, excruciating journey from bad to worse in the life of protagonist after whom the movie is named. Young demobilized, gas-poisoned First World War lieutenant of very delicate health, who previously was a doctor in an orphanage for children with some mental deprivations, goes in a search of their new location and finds much more than he ever intended to and quite of a different nature. Depressive atmosphere of ultimate despair, where the insane ones are much less horrible than the sane, where the madness is a kind of poetry, will hold you hypnotized from the very first frames of this film to the last. And all the beauty: beauty of the winter and mountains, beauty of snowy landscapes and wild woods, I don't even know how all the sorrow and sadness of last days of war could be made so beautiful.

    The movie that mix David Lean and Tim Burton.

    Giorgino can to some people look a bit long but it's one of rare real romantique adventure film. It could be compare to Docter Jivago with a bit of Sleepy Holow. You must see it.

    This film is cult

    Although it has been a failure in movie theaters because mainly Mylene Farmer, one of the 3 top stars in France had not the first role. Fans had changed their mind after that and were waiting for it on DVD. When it has been released on DVD this year it has have a tremendous success ! The others fails was the slow pace and the incredible length (3h) at that time (1994) that have annoyed critics. But the melancholic story makes mandatory that slow pace and long time. The moral of the film is you cannot escape from the death you are destined for. It is the same theme than in the movie "Final Destination" and makes it a Gothic tale. The atmosphere is very melancholic.
