Normally I like to read a biography of an artist life, but this time I was more than satisfied. The film gave me a warm insight view of this very special woman and her will to live. Special effects on paintings going into real life is perfect done. This is not an ordinary movie, but a work of art. As an art teacher I will highly recommend this film to my pupils.

Just arrived home from a jump into the 17th century at the royal court of Louis XIV. This film gives you an excellent inside look of one of the most protectors of the arts. You may find the story a bit thin, but the images are very carefully chosen and composed. It's not an ordinary costume show and happily made under the supervision of culture historians. Maybe the music does sound a bit the same during the film, but it also let you hear some magnificent moments. I enjoyed this movie very well because of the richness of the photography and the well balanced cast. I recommand this film to those who love western culture during one of the highest levels, the baroque.

For one and a half hour I felt like a bird, flying with the migraters high in the sky. What I've ever dreamed of became reality. This french filmmakers did an excellent job to tell you how worth while nature is. And in the only city sequence I felt a little ashamed of what we are doing to mother earth and her natural wonders. Although I didn't like the over romantic music sometimes, I felt like a child seeing for the first time the open space, a birds eye view at the earth, I was touched by beauty. Thanks to these filmmakers who took the challenge to make a movie in which birds play the headrole.
