3.0 out of 5 stars Decent, Nov 14 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Brigette Bardot:Love on a Pill (DVD)
The beauty of Bardot is horribly marred by the poor picture quality of this film. The color is so screwed that the film appears to be in yellow.
No special features are offered on this DVD. It contains english dubbing which I think is fine because I prefer to watch dubbed foreign films anyway.
Since this is the only version of the film on DVD, I settled for what I could get.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classically great slice of 1960's Beatnik love drama..., May 28 2001

This review is from: Brigette Bardot:Love on a Pill (DVD)
This film amazed me. I was so sad to see that the original film transfer had degraded so badly that the film is virtually washed out of color, but then again, there has never been any problem with black & white film has there? There is some very solid direction from Vadim, plus great acting from Bardot and Robert Hossein. The story takes place in the great European period of the 1960's where tragic love stories reign better than they ever have. Give me this over any American romantic comedy anyday (And technically this is a true romantic comedy in light of the story structure and the ending in particular, it is just the superior European take). If you love this time period as conveyed through film, and like Bardot, this is a definite addition to add to your library!

3.0 out of 5 stars Well made and acted but too slow, Aug 9 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Love on a Pillow - Vhs (VHS Tape)
I saw a clear version of this movie under its French title Le Repos Du Guerrier. The movie had English subtitles.

Bardot looks absolutely beautiful throughout this entire movie. Her acting is also incredibly good. She expresses a wide range of emotions (love, dispair, heartbreak, frustration, anger) very convincingly.

By accident Bardot saves the life of a man (Robert Hossein) who tries to commit suicide. She befriends this pathetic creature and soon falls in love with him. They become lovers as Bardot breaks off her engagement to another man. Her new lover is both odd and mysterious. He loves Bardot but doesn't want to give himself to her completely.

When Bardot finally leaves him, he becomes a lost soul. He can't live without her. He finds Bardot and asks her to marry him. She embraces him warmly.

I believe this movie was well made and appeals to a certain audience but it was simply too slow and soap-opera like for my taste.
