![]() I think it's a real shame that it's deleted in the UK! It should be on TV more often so people have a chance to watch it. ![]() ![]() My sister watched it before reading the book and she was hooked, so it's definitely a success whether you are familiar or otherwise with this compelling story. I also think that a film of her later books would be a success - especially as the language isn't a problem then. I think this is a good attempt at summarising Jean Auel's work (which is really very difficult to film successfully) - But summary is the right word so you are really missing out until you read the novel - there is so much more to it- I think the film could be a little longer - it is a 800 page book! Even though it doesn't live up to the book it's still really good fun to see. The hand signals are good and there aren't too many sub-titles. ![]() Darryl Hannah is a good Ayla (if not a little old - she is supposed to be 12!) and the film does well with the language problem. When I saw it was on the TV I got up at 2 in the morning to watch this film! I just couldn't wait until the morning! I thought it was really good but advice to anyone is READ THE BOOK! The story is absolutely captivating and involving from the start. ![]()
