The strongest suit of The Horseman on the Roof is without any doubt the cinematography, the sometimes like grand old classic paintings looking scenery we get. The story got some peculiar and special moments too and we recognize right from the start that this is an European (French) production, with an rather well researched background of the respective time-frame: the movie is based on the 1951 French novel Le hussard sur le toit by Jean Giono (note to myself: read). Production is top, the cast too. So in the case you love a mix of adventure, drama and romance, and if you love movies like Cyrano de Bergerac (Gérard Depardieu) or The Duellists (Keith Carradine, Harvey Keitel) you may dare to try this one.
