  Poor second
  
  This was nowhere near as good as the original French version. Very disappointed but perhaps if I had seen this first it mighn't have been so bad

  Time-travelling romp
  
  An updated re-make of a classic French film. There are some terrific effects and an amazingly well-trained horse, but overall it doesn't match the surreal ... read more »
