Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGaspard Ulliel went through an intensive physical training in order to prepare for the role. He ran, did indoor gym, workouts, and rope climbs for two or three hours four times a week for two and a half months. Ulliel said it was more subtle than pure bodybuilding because he was training with a coach who was a trapeze artist. Then there was the preparation and rehearsal for fights with Mario Luraschi. It was also with Luraschi that Ulliel had to train to ride a horse, but he didn't have much time for that, as he was already very taken by the physical preparation, the training of the fights with the stick, and by the training of the dance.

Featured review
Ordinary, yet tremendous...
Jacquou le Croquant is a good production that is unfortunately too long and too slow. Some parts are unnecessary and could have been taken out, or at least shortened. These two flaws will turn off a lot of people.
However, if you can keep up with the snail pace, the movie is pretty good with a fair mix of action and touching moments. The first part of the story follows Jacquou as a young boy who loses both of his parents, and ends up being taken care of by the churchman of the village. The second part covers his revenge against the man who is responsible for the death of his parents now that he is a young man.
The dialogues and acting isn't all that great, but the actor(s) playing Jacquou is cute as a kid and handsome as an adult (the two lead actresses are very beautiful as well). The sceneries and imagery is simply breathtaking and the melodies enchanting. The movie is definitely great to look at, if anything, despite the weak storyline (but still does the job of staying interesting all the way through).
Jacquou le Croquant is nothing special, but to the right audience it's a good movie in all respect.
