    Fanfan la Tulipe is a remake of the classic 1952 swashbuckling satire by French director Christian-Jaque. Set in the 18th century, Vincent Perez plays the title role of the seductive swordsman Fanfan, who flees his home in order to avoid a forced marriage. A gypsy girl named Adel...( read more)ine (Penelope Cruz) tricks him into joining the army of King Louis XV (Didier Bourdon) by telling him that if he fights, he will get to marry one of the king's daughters. I very much enjoyed and laughed watching this Movie, I have never seen Vicent Perez in such funny role and Penelepo Cruz was great like most in her Movies. The Movie is a great Comedy with Adventure and alot of Funny Quotes of Fanfan.

    Hay ocasiones en que es difícil encontrarle sentido a los remakes, como es el caso del más reciente filme dedicado al héroe espadachín Fanfan La Tulipe, creado por el novelista Nuri Bilge Ceylan. La primera adaptación cinematográfica fue en 1907, la siguiente en la década de los ...( read more)1920, hasta llegar a la más popular, de 1952, dirigida por Christian-Jaque y protagonizada por Gérard Philipe y la atractiva actriz italiana Gina Lollobrigida, en la que se basa esta nueva versión.

    Dirigida por Gérard Krawczyk (director de las dos secuelas de Taxi, y asistente de Luc Besson), la nueva Fanfan la Tulipe (2003) es una crispetera y entretenida revisión del personaje. Aunque termina quedándose atrás en su trama y personajes, tiene la virtud de entretener al respetable durante su poco más de hora y media de duración.

    Este refrito de Fanfan la Tulipe no alcanza a estos maestros de la comedia, por supuesto, además de que su historia es pobre. Se queda nada más como un efectivo divertimento sin mayores pretensiones, en el que ha jugado un importante papel el carisma de Vincent Perez, con experiencia previa en el género con "El Duelo" (1997), y la belleza de sus actrices protagónicas.

    I thought to see a better movie.
    I like movies happening during these times, swashbuckling movies. But this remake wasn't so good.

    Really really bad. A forced, overacted, romantic wanna-be-feel-good movie.

    Also known as "Soldier in Love"; Silver Berlin Bear, 1952 Berlin International Film Festival; Best Director, 1952 Cannes Film Festival.
    This stylish swashbuckler French comedy was originally released to great acclaim in 1952.

    Really an interesting don juan-esque swashbuckling tale.
