I don't know abroad, but in France, it is a classic and it was a huge success back then. Anyway, since I hadn't see it for years, it was definitely time for a re-watch. And I wasn't disappointed. It is such a bold and inspiring picture, I thought it was pretty amazing. Of course, there is no way to know how accurate the whole thing is but I thought it was very believable. Also, they didn't make an... read more

Movie Reviews (251-300) (50 movies items)

" Fantasy movie with a historic flavor about primitive people hunting for the secret behind the flame. It may not be historic correct, but it is a unique visual movie.
