inspired fight scenes - half technique, half humor -, charming actors, a nice story and ironic image about a page of France history. a comedy, indeed. important thing - it is a seductive film not only for basic ingredients but for its precise grace. Gerard Philippe creates a different character , in fact, few essential sparkles to a good guy who gives to it a clear, deep personality. his Fanfan is unique and this fact is remarkable after so many years in the space of many eulogies for heroes in that period. the science of measure makes it a kind of revelation, again and again. and this is explanation for who Fanfan is a little more than a character but good occasion to remember another side of reality, full of joy and adventure, nostalgia and fragile beauty.
