5.0 out of 5 stars Medieval Paris lawyer finds out simple county life is a myth, 23 Mar 2000
This review is from: The Hour Of The Pig [VHS] [1994] (VHS Tape)
A well crafted piece of Medieval French history in which a sophisticated Paris based lawyer decides to leave the capital and work in the heart of rural France and a simpler way of life. His first case is something of a puzzle, as he set to defend a pig which is being tried for murder. The Lawyer played by Colin Firth Quickly finds that life in the country is not as he expected His triumphs are balanced by his sheer delightful wrongful assumptions which inevitably he resigns himself to. The movie has a dark humanistic vein running all the way through it of superstition and manipulation, the conclusion of the film is not too be missed. with superb supporting acting, and a great story line.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!!!, 10 Sep 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hour Of The Pig [VHS] [1994] (VHS Tape)
A film great that is high on humour as well as the darker sides of life. The plot is good and the end has a grim twist. That this film is not better know when others with half its charm get wider exposure is odd. The plot is based on some real legal problems that were encountered in French law at that age and the results are comic and cruel

4.0 out of 5 stars An Unkown Little Gem, 6 April 2001
This review is from: The Hour Of The Pig [VHS] [1994] (VHS Tape)
Nobody's ever heard of this movie...Don't know why, because it's great! A rich atmosphere, a good plot, a causit wit, and a brilliant soundtrack by The Dufay Collective. It's not the greatest film ever made, but it is extremely pleasant to watch, with a true 'Medieval' atmosphere and a real shock ending. I highly recommend it.
