A remarkable but slow moving romance - The Romance of Astrea and Celadon review by CD
This film is fairly unique and is magnificent in parts. The beautiful pastoral scenery and setting in 5th century Gaul, complete with shepherds/ shepherdesses, nymphs and a druid is captivating. However, this is mainly a film about love, romance and faithfulness and comes across as a bit slow and stilted at times. It is in French with sub-titles and the young actors do a good job. Recommended for those who like romances and are seeking a relaxing evening (with beautiful birdsong in the film's background soundtrack).
