1.0 out of 5 stars Not Red Dwarf, October 20, 2001

By	Michael A. Marunchak (Chicago) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Red Dwarf (DVD)

This is more of a complaint than a review. Note to Amazon - the title of this movie is "The Red Dwarf", not "Red Dwarf".

"Red Dwarf" is a wonderfully funny British Sci-fi comedy, whereas "The Red Dwarf" is this weird French movie.

You can't imagine how irritated and annoyed I was when I did a "successful" search for "Red Dwarf" and turned up this thing.

A little more accuracy in the titles would be appreciated.

Thank you.

This review is from: The Red Dwarf (DVD)

Echoing the previous reviewers annoyance,i too was delighted at the prospect of a Red Dwarf DVD,but alas,i was deceived!I somehow doubt this French film has characters such as Rimmer,The Cat,or Lister!Again,this film is called THE RED DWARF,and not Red Dwarf!!Smeg!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lucien's search for companionship, January 20, 2004

By	Kim Anehall "www.cinematica.org" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Red Dwarf (DVD)

Red Dwarf is a fine cinematic experience about Lucien, a withdrawn man short in stature and longing for affection, who writes letters for parties in divorce cases for his law firm. This is a tragic position for Lucien, since he deems himself plagued in regards to affectionate relationships. One day he meets the acrobatic orphan Isis, who lives in a circus while also befriending Paola Bendoni, an important client for his law firm. Lucien initiates a love affair with Paola, but he is rejected as Paola is only interested in a lustful adventure. This is something new to Lucien and he finds himself lost in the swirl of emotions trailing the rejection. After having regained some self-esteem, he quits his job and pursues his fatherly care for the young acrobat. Red Dwarf is a tragedy that captivates the mind as the sorrow of Lucien is depicted on the silver screen, and it provides several lesson for the viewers to think about. Le Moine has also mixed a number of controversial issues into the film that will keep the viewers feeling a flow to the film and provide an opportunity for self scrutiny of beliefs.
