THE HORSEMAN ON THE ROOF (aka LE HUSSARD SUR LE TOIT, France 1995) 720p; Juliette Binoche

One of my true favorites since the first time I saw it in '99. Romantic, artful, sensual yet neither vulgar nor prudish, brutal though compassionate; an intriguing adventure well written and composed. A hero as chivalrous as he is brave, a heroin as faithful as she is captivating.

Please, unders subtitle spanish. Please!!!!

aww Angelo was so ridic chivalrous. and man that scene near the end — SPOILER AHEAD — where she almost dies and he strips her to rub her down with alcohol… it's super interesting filmmaking cuz i feel like that scene really took the place of a sex scene in a more conventional romance. like, a climactic and very meaningful scene involving nudity and strenuous physical activity, and rooted in love. only it wasn't a sex scene at all, it was survival.

Sounds like the movie is about a platonic love affair. The ending seems to imply that one day Pauline will go to Angelo that day. Doesn't say what his letter said. Is the book just as good?

Thanks for uploading this movie, very appreciated!
