Reviews
Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Bereamic Awesome Movie
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Dierdre99 Although Malagasian, there is much in this film that restates the myths of Europe as far back as the Greeks and before. The hero, Kapila, is exposed as a baby, in a cow pen no less, and is injured before a foster mother, who is a shroud make, takes him away to the city. Like Jason and many other heroes he grows up lame, and with special powers. He is aided by a mysterious older blind woman, who may be something other than human - In Greek myth she would have been Teiresias. As a young adult, Kapila returns to his village of birth to find his father and his destiny. The time setting of the story is also mythic: there are railway stations, but not cars. A very moving film.
Tommy-41 This film exists in the same category as Fernando Solanasas' 'The Voyage', it brings to life Madagascar, the characters it introduces and the voyage we must all take to find ourselves
