Product Description
Perhaps Jean Delannoy's (The Eternal Return) best-loved film, La Symphonie Pastorale remains one of France's greatest contributions to cinema. This sensitive adaptation of Andre Gide's introspective novel is precisely constructed, brilliant

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant!, July 10, 2008

By	Romualdo Monteclar "musicmaniac" (hanover, pa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is one of my favorite movies (although loosely adapted from Gide's story--but it's silly to argue that cinema is cinema). The acting and direction are superb--and I wonder why Criterion Collection never had the guts to issue this brilliant film (it won the Palme d'Or)--and the utter stupidity to release a nutty one such as "Brazil"--well, no accounting for taste, kiddo.

3.0 out of 5 stars La Symphonie Pastorale, March 12, 2001

By	Paul J. Diamond (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews

La Symphonie Pastorale depicts the tale of a pasteur who takes in a young blind girl (Gertrude). The story concerns the ramifications of his involvement in her education and her life. The film sides on the melodramatic and certain physical qualites of both the Pasteur and Gertrude make their roles difficult to believe.
