5.0 out of 5 stars Truly a classic., September 13, 2001
By Hoc Stercus "beeper99" (Hudson, NY USA) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: Monsieur Vincent [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Although awareness of this film is rather minimal today, it deservedly won an Academy Award in 1948 as Best Foreign Film.
Rather than sickingly sweet, as so many films with a religious motif tend to be (e.g. "Brother Sun, Sister Moon"), this one has a grit, irony, and wry humor that holds up under repeated showings. If you liked "A Man For All Seasons," there is a good chance you will like this effort, since it shares a kindred spirit.

Any caveats? Yes, several. It is filmed in black and white, and the present quality leaves much to be desired. There are lots of scratches and and other defects that make continued watching something of a challenge. The sound quality also leaves much to be desired. My greatest hope is that some day we will see a digitally restored DVD worthy of the outstanding content of this remarkable film. It has appeared on several lists of great films of the 20th century; and it truly deserves to been seen in a much better version than currently available.

On the other hand, the price is right. And considering you get to see a movie that is genuinely inspiring, thought provoking, uplifting, and an enduring classic ---- it's a much better buy than many tapes costing twice and three times as much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly restored, October 27, 2008
By Ana Braga-Henebry (Rural South Dakota) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
No scratches, this is a brilliantly restored clean copy! Ignore the caveats from other reviews since they speak of the old VHS copy. I cannot find any reference online to the restoration but it is beautiful, we just watched it. We watched it from Netflix, same cover. English subtitles only-- a French class!

5.0 out of 5 stars Monsieur Vincent, March 8, 2007
By Badger "just me" (Hillsboro, OR USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Monsieur Vincent [VHS] (VHS Tape)
An old, unretouched film- just as I remember it. A moving portrayal of a man who's name is a household word, but who's life is largely unknown. It drives home the fact, relentlessly, that if the burden of poverty is great, the burden of those who seek to remedy it is equally so. A well crafted film and a learning experience besides, Monsieur Vincent is a true classic.
