Review of Zelary (2003) by Bob H — 21 Mar 2010
Zelary.
Bravo! Beautifully filmed love story that invites you inside the homes and lives of the good people of Zelary during WWII. This is more than the story of a city girl forced into hiding in a remote mountain community in order to save herself from the Gestapo. Here in this picturesque mountain region, the filmmaker introduces us to endearing characters, heros and some villains too and reminds us, I think, that the human condition is a common thread that connects us all, regardless of who we are, where we live or what dogma/doctrine we are running toward or away from. Visually a work of art and certainly the best looking film that I've seen in ages.
Pappy Bob's pedestrian opinion: A simple, well-told, universally interesting tale complimented by exquisite cinematography.
