Actually I’ve seen the movie before but I just remembered how great it was. An example of a desperate human being in total possession of their talent. Not really able to exist within the society bounds. Although delicately exaggerated, this is personage-pattern of the most genius people ever lived on the planet.
The feeling of dirty medieval France is thrilling. No romanticism but real-life co-existence of the noble and the poor. The irony is that this kind of approach is more engaging nowadays, instead of already irrelevant tourist-booklet-like sketched vision that old books are full of.
I suspect I’d better read the book also, it usually opens up great dimensions and details that are crumpled in a usual movie script. Even good screenings suffer from that, I don’t even speak about those screwing up the book versions. This screening is great as I see it, thus I’m putting the book on my dusty to-read list.
