2.0 out of 5 stars
Missed change, November 17, 2007
Unfortunately this is not a good movie. Crucial events of one of my favorite books are not found in the movie. With giant steps the director walks through the story, Alain Fournier's popular Le Grand Meaulnes. Camerawork is ok. Acting not bad. It's nice to see France in 1910. But director Verhaeghe should take the time to tell the story of Augustin Meaulnes, his strange adventure, mystery of the lost castle, the story of the gypsy and so on.

Not the original. Darn!, June 4, 2011
In my youth this was one of my favorite movies. The party scene in the original was absolutely enchanting. This version altogether lacked the magic and exacting beauty of the original.

Look for the 1967 version!, June 18, 2011
I was happy when this showed up on my French TV channel, TV Cinq Monde. I assumed it was the 1967 classic. But no. This 2006 film is not awful, exactly, but it is pedestrian and conveys NOTHING of the enchantment of the book, which was caught so well in the '67 version.
