the very first image of the movie show a mountain ridge in early morning autumn mist and and my thought be represent this be almost too beautiful . and it go on like this represent image of landscape and animal that look like a series of romantic painting and each of them perfect in every detail . even the girl room and her father car everything be nostalgic and romantic and beautiful . this could seem outdated and escapistic and but it fit a story that be itself of silent beauty and happen on the border between life and fairy tale and between dian fossey and le petit prince . i enjoy every minute of it . the extreme parsimony of the movie and have a simple and slow story and just one actor and hardly any special effect and exert a strong magic . i therefore find it deplorable that this parsimony be give up in the last minute and when suddenly two additional actor ( the girl a a grow up woman and and her son ) be introduce . another shortcoming be the music and which be often intrusive and hollywood like and and sometimes inappropriate represent i couldn not bring an english pop song together with french mountain glory . i go to the movie together with my two small daughter and but i recommend it to adults as well and give that they appreciate this kind of movie . obviously and not everybody do .
