      Naila Scargill Trebuchet Bardot shows little range throughout, and one can't help but think that there is a much better film for the finding, if only for a different star.

      Audience Member another sex farce pic from director roger vadim (barbarella) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member martin.hillstad@gmai.com Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Love on a Pillow is one film that should be put to bed. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Pode não ter uma história muito interessante de romance, mas só a música já compensa em tudo! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Le Repos du Guerrier is the story of a problematic relationship between a decent rich girl (Bardot) and a carefree student and artist (Hossein) at the wake of the cultural revolution of the roaring sixties in Paris. As a metaphor for the clash between the establishment and the revolting youth culture this movie - to my mind - reached cult status. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Normally (problematic) relationship dramas are not my cup of tea, but with certain people present in the cast, one has to make sacrifices. And the sacrifice was well worth it. It must be said that Roger Vadim was extremely lucky to meet up with someone as charming as Brigitte Bardot, who also happens to be a very good actress. In most cases, actors could be replaced by others without any significant differences for the movie, but Bardot is one of the exceptions. She is so adorable she has the talent to make rather than break any movie. Given the addition of the qualities of the other actors, “Le repos du guerrier” must be called a success. I might have preferred some more explicit resistance from some of the minor characters (do they dislike Geneviève’s (Bardot) relationship with Renaud (Hossein) because of his social background or because of his “bad news” personality?), but apparently Vadim preferred a focussing on the relationship as such. The movie gives a very good insight into the concept of blind, passionate love and the sacrifices one is willing to make to acquire a desired party. It also manages to well represent a certain time period (early sixties) and its fashions and attitudes. The conclusion is romantic, but also perhaps too conventional and naïve: personally I still don’t trust Renaud. In my opinion, he is not just someone who is going through a difficult period in his life, unwilling to accept certain values temporarily. I am very much afraid he must be seen as a serious mental case who will make Geneviève very unhappy, because anything like real change will turn out an impossibility. But perhaps I am now being as cynical as Renaud himself. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
