King Of Hearts description 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 is populated by the residents of a nearby insane asylum, whose keepers have fled--a fact that escapes the innocent soldier, who assumes these are the regular folks. A film that celebrates the innocence and wisdom of the insane, even as it questions who the real madmen are. --Marshall Fine |

| I originally saw this movie at a film festival back in the 80's. I was so happy to find it in DVD form. This movie really touched me both emotionally and philosophically. There is much symbolism in this so I wouldn't recommend for people who don't like that type of thing. It is also subtitled for only about half the movie. Most of this movie is a visual and thinking movie. It is uplifting and heartbreaking at the same time and has that foreign humor. If this is what you like I highly recommend this movie. It is a classic. | |
