Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Based on Pierre-Jakez Helias' best-selling autobiographical novel of the same name, The Horse of Pride (Le Cheval D'Orgueil) is a lyrical tale of Britanny from 1908 to 1918 . Chabrol's 32nd feature, The Horse of Pride lovingly details the hardships and joys of French peasant life focusing on the story of a young couple who meet, marry and soon have a son . Too poor to own a real horse, they are content to ride "their horse of pride", an adage passe d down from generation to generation. In addition to exploring the customs and folklore of the Bretons, the film reveals the important changes brought about by World War I - when the real wo rld began to impose itself on these primitive environs and an era of innocence gradually came t o a close.
