Product Details


Product Description

Amazon.ca

This lushly produced fantasy has gained a loyal following since its release in 1985, and it gave a welcomed boost to the careers of Matthew Broderick, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Rutger Hauer. You have to ignore the overly aggressive music score (critic Pauline Kael aptly dubbed it "disco-medieval") and director Richard Donner's reckless allowance of anachronistic dialogue and uninspired storytelling, but there's a certain charm to the movie's combination of romance and heroism. Broderick plays a young thief who comes to the aid of tragic lovers Isabeau (Pfeiffer), who is cursed to become a hawk every day at sunrise and Navarre (Hauer) who turns into a wolf at sunset. The curse was cast by an evil sorcerer-bishop (John Wood), and as Broderick eludes the bishop's henchmen, Navarre struggles to conquer the villain, lift the curse, and be reunited with his love in human form. The tragedy of this lovers' dilemma keeps the movie going, and Broderick is well cast as a young, medieval variation of Woody Allen. --Jeff Shannon

If you love the fantastical, you'll love this flick with Matthew Broderick, Michelle Pfeiffer and Rutger Hauer. An awesome flick about redemption and restoration.

5.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful movie Jan 26 2013
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I think I have seen this movie at least 5 times. I originally had it on VHS, which was lost. so I just recently bought the DVD so I can keep it for future viewing. A beautiful love story, and being a horse lover, the beautiful Friesian in the movie is one outstanding horse!

4.0 out of 5 stars Needs to be releasd with some bonus features. Jun 28 2004
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Just saw this movie the other day and loved it. Warners should re-release as a two disk set with new interviews with Richard Donner and the cast. I would like to hear how they made the movie and what they think of it, all these years later.

It's been a while since I've seen this movie. Good movie with a neat romance, but the cheesy 80s background music just kills it. Read more
