Review of Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) by Claudia F — 27 Nov 2008

I liked it immensely, because hello, French film about 18th century wolves with kung fu. What is not to love? Especially since it contains both Mark Dacasos (whose surname I can't spell) and Vincent Cassel. See, I need very little to keep me amused. I now really want to see it in French, and with some of the missing scenes put back in, because the British dubbed version is lacking a certain something.

I loved the young Marquis and felt so sad for him at the end, because, it was kind of obvious that his head would roll. Okay, so admittedly I'm in denial and as far as I'm concerned the Scarlet Pimpernel comes and rescues him off-screen, but yes, it was one heck of an ending because he's taken himself off to a better place, knowing that Fransac and Marianne are safe and happy and far away. So it's really happy and really sad at the same time and I got a bit whammed.
