Grandiose masterpiece of post world-war 2 cinematography

This piece is the cornerstone of all modern cinema. The work of Joze Gale will be remembered as one of the most influential pieces of this millenium. When i first saw this movie i was left completly astounded. I had simplz no words for this masterpiece. The emotions that Joze was abe to bring up in me still remain.

Heartwarming

An unpretentious, heartwarming B&W movie about a brave little boy nicknamed "Kekec", filmed in the idyllic setting of the Julian Alps, in Slovenia (which is really the only reason why anyone could wish it had been filmed in colour).

The plot is not terribly realistic, but the boy's character works well as a semi-archetype of the down-to-earth "nature's child" which overcomes obstacles by the sheer force of will and a pure heart.

Personally, I feel that Barl's interpretation of the boy is somewhat strained. But the rest of the cast - including the dog - are very good. And the music is almost perfect. All in all, the movie conveys a touching - if perhaps imaginary - image of a pristine rural community, many many decades ago.
