3.0 out of 5 stars So Good, but So Disappointing!, May 4, 2009

This review is from: Le grand Meaulnes (version originale) (French only) (DVD)

This is a film I have yearned to see again since I saw it in a cinema in the late 60's under the title "The Wanderer", so my dream has come true and for that I would give it six out of five!
BUT, the disappointment which kills it is why no subtitles? The cinema version had subtitles which I recall were of acceptable quality. You can usually turn them on or off on most DVD's so what's the problem?

2.0 out of 5 stars subtitles?, February 27, 2011

This review is from: Le grand Meaulnes (version originale) (French only) (DVD)

This is such an impressive story with beautiful cinematography. I also saw this movie with subtitles many years ago and I have never forgot it. I was so excited to receive the dvd as a Christmas gift, then soooo disappointed when there weren't any subtitles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Le Grand Meaulnes or The Wanderer, June 9, 2011

This review is from: Le grand Meaulnes (version originale) (French only) (DVD)

This is such a special and lovely film. Alain Fournier has been hailed as a French literary hero (sort of like Antoin d'Saint Exupery) and thought lost in battle in World War One. His remains were more or less recently found and appropriately laid to rest.
Would someone in France do the Americans the honor of urging the producers to create a dvd version WITH SUBTITLES so those of us who are deficient in their delightful language could enjoy this film and share it with new generations? Please tell someone like Juan Luis Bunuel (son of Luis)or some other sympathetic ear to agitate to create a version of this film so I can show it to all the people I need to have see it! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
