New World ("Le Nouveau Monde),
By r.broadnax@mydiax.ch (Zürich Switzerland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New World [DVD] [2003] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
I had the Opportunity to rewiew this wonderful film. I was very happy also to be the Preacher in this film. Richard Broadax,www.broadnax.ch (Thanks to Alain Comeau/film Director,the greatest!).I had the green light to do it my way. For me it wasn"t acting,because i"ve been through these pain in ever day life, the tragic lost of a love one. I gave it my all.Richard broadnax

New World,
By Moi "Orleans" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New World [DVD] [2003] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Been in France in that time frame, this is a pretty good overview of what was going on, of course some editorial liberty, after all it is a movie.
Any one in France in the Military in the Loire Valley/Orleans area will have great memories of this time and enjoy this movie. 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

The Pains of Growing up in Post War France,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New World [DVD] [2003] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
During the first fifteen years following the war, France was poor, desoriented, and lacking in that strong Gallic Spirit which they have shown before and after that miserable patch in their history.Not knowing what direction to take, the young looked to the freer and more varied directions offered by American tastes. They becamed enamored of and bewildered by American Jazz, films, cars, electronics, dating styles, and our puzzling multicultural society. Food and electronics were severely short in France at this time. A lot of this treasure trove was available at the US Army Personnel PX, and being taken there in a shopping spree was a magic trip through Vanity Fair for the much more restricted French. Our young protagonist finds out much to his chagrin, that all that prosperity and generocity do not necessarily translate in happiness. As the movie ends, we sense that our hearbroken seventeen year old will be all right at the end, as indeed, the whole of France did, after all pain of mourning and hunger were over.

Not too enamored of 50s rock n roll and France,
By Bradley F. Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New World [DVD] [2003] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
This little film is a bit schizophrenic and a little too staged for comfort. We are in post war France, but we are also in a little American bubble as GI's bring American culture to a place that doesn't need it. There's a little teen love story mixed in here, but overall I wasn't entertained.
