Product Name : King of Hearts
This film was a touchstone of the late 1960s, when it was seen as an antiwar allegory for a world in which madness seemed to reign. Of course, that would probably be true whenever this movie was shown, wouldn’t it? Directed by Philippe de Broca and set during World War I, King of Hearts stars Alan Bates as a Scottish soldier separated from his unit in France. He wanders into a small French village that has been abandoned by its residents in the face of oncoming combat. Instead, the town i Read More »

Product Review : King of Hearts
 Best Ending Ever!, Jan 4 2003 By A Customer
This review is from: King of Hearts (Widescreen) (DVD)
This movie has the very best ending ever. I’d like to see someone try and find a more surprising, happier, funnier ending than this one. The loonies are in town and they’ve found their king and my heart. This movie takes the bag. It’s my father’s very favorite movie and one of mine. I definitely recommend this movie.

I, too, remember this as one of the all-time great movies. Reviewer John Robinson is right: The American theatre version stops with the hero standing at the gates of the city with a bird cage; there is no further dialogue. The French film tradition does not wrap stories up into such tidy packages as Hollywood does. Perhaps the American version of the film was cut to give it a more clearly defined finale. BTW, John Robinson, if you want other reviewers to respond to you, you should give your email address!
A buck-naked skip with birdcage!, Oct 15 2002 By
This review is from: King of Hearts (Widescreen) (DVD)
This gem should hit many different emotions for the avid viewer. A true parade of carnival characters set in an antiwar theme — this bit of royalty of the heart brings up aTHE enigma: Is the difference between psychosis and psychic just a paper-thin line of cultural subjectivism? Is the lunacy of blowing up yet another vacant city on the path to glory any different that skipping naked down a path with a birdcage in one’s hand? This film started the boomers reading subtitles and (hopefully) brought them out of their fears of foreign film. (Don’t get the dubbed version, it lacks so much charm.) Its popularity had a great deal to do with the country’s mass-consciousness about the Viet Nam war; but I hope it would have found the same audience without such a catalyst. One feels like dancing in a fountain and blowing bubbles on the back of a bus after seeing this great flick. Keep a kazoo handy; you’ll want to have something to toot after the film is over and you are left to your… Read more
