It ain't that bad

psteier

Some of the complaints may due to a poor tape transfer. It looked quite nice as a movie. However, being about poor people, don't expect gorgeous costumes.

Since the film is honest and somewhat brutal in its depiction of peasant life, it is not for the weak of stomach or for children.

It moves at a somewhat leisurely pace and some of the filmic conventions are overdone (the talking sheep and the swelling music in particular).

score 6/10
