QuickView
Story-line: in 1832, an Italian colonel exiled in southern France tries to return home despite enemy agents, a cholera epidemic and a lady in distress.
Pluses: a well-founded story based on a Jean Giono novel, fine period detail, quality acting and Juliette Binoche’s undeniable star power.
Minuses: none, except one gruesome scene involving a corpse.
Comments: if you ache for drama, adventure and romance (yes, that too!), LE HUSSARD SUR LE TOIT will cure what ails you. Let it take you to another time, another place, another world altogether.
