A simple minded but elegant delight

I read the reviews of this film and being a great admirer of the comic strip decided to give it a miss. Then my eldest grandson came to visit and he chose it as the film he really wanted to see. Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings as it were. The concept is of course silly, seeing that it is a comic strip. So expecting a logical sequence to the film is hardly sensible. But from the start you have the right emotional tone from Caesar to the lovely pile of wild boars Obelisk has so casually assembled as a sort of tone-setter. The hero is not a strong actor. He shouldn't be nor should his lovely girl friend. He is merely a coathanger on which the clothing represented by the Gauls and Romans should hang. Talking of clothing, what absolutely superb costumes. Also, in keeping with the cartoon original a style of sly reference to classical history is maintained. So carp if you will. But I'm fairly sure a child of any age would love it and I rejoice that at a few days short of 65 I still love this sort of elegant nonsense. So superior to the ghastly Disney horror that cursed the cinemas at the new year and which received such undeserved and possibly well orchestrated reviews. This may be a film for children but it is a film for intelligent children, who bring their grandparents along.
