A Perfect Love Story: Rated 4 out of 5 This is Bernard Le Coq’s best film!

Well known to the general public for the series A Wonderful Family or recently Tout va bien on Disney+, actor Bernard Le Coq also has a long career in cinema. From August 28, he stars with Pierre Richard in Christophe Ditouron’s film Fêlés. With nearly 170 projects in an impressive filmography spanning five decades, what is the best-rated movie on AlloCiné by viewers?

If César and Rosalie by Claude Sauté with Romy Schneider is rated 4 out of 5, this is the latest film released in 2019: Nils Tavernier’s The Incredible Story of a Horse Postman with Jacques Gamblin and Laëtitia Casta. Based on 2416 viewers, it has an average rating of 4.1 out of 5.

The synopsis of this movie is as follows: “At the end of the 19th century, Joseph Ferdinand Cheval was a simple postman who traveled from village to village in Drome every day. Single, he is nervous when he meets the woman of his life, Philomena. Alice was born from their union. For this child, whom he loves more than anything, Sheval makes a crazy bet: to build him an incredible palace with his own hands. This ordinary person did not spare life’s trials and devoted 33 years to the construction of an extraordinary work: the “ideal palace”..”

Some opinions of AlloCiné viewers about the film:

According to TTNOUGAT (5 out of 5): “What a pleasant surprise! A timeless film that you love to live as it is thanks to a production full of humanity that puts all the characters at the center of the story. If we want to forget some inconvenience, we leave the room satisfied with a few more tears of emotion related to the human condition..”

According to StiPaN (5 out of 5): “I won’t dwell on the content, character history, etc… I just want to point out that Gamblin’s acting is simply breathtaking; What an artist! For this excellent performance alone, I invite all skeptics to watch this film. This movie particularly upset me, especially since I didn’t know this palace or this story.“

According to AZZZO (5 out of 5): “This movie is a great love story. Niels Tavernier wanted to make his postman more mysterious and silent than the supposed reality, in order to bring out of him the madness caused only by love. It’s touching, it’s moving, it’s pathos in a two-liter bottle, but it’s a real work of art. Like the humble hero, this film may seem simple or even naive, but it takes a lot of work to achieve that simplicity. The photography is brilliant, the production is reasonable and Jacques Gamblin is simply absolute. A little sweetness for this month of January.“

According to CH1218 (3.5 out of 5): “Not the life of a madman or an original (but still a little) extraordinary, but the life of a silent man with the true soul of a poet, a character completely inhabited by Jacques Gamblin. The film is attractive but I was expecting a different approach, the overload of romanticism prevents the story from really taking off. But the Facteur Cheval is, above all, a unique “palace” (in Hauteville, Drôme), an unusual brick made of stones, lime, mortar and cement. Seeing it, touching it, feeling it (again) is worth all the movies in the world.”

According to FaRem (3.5 out of 5): (…) “For the majority of the movie, I just didn’t find this movie bad, but the last part blew me away and made me think about all the little flaws mentioned earlier. It’s not perfect, but it’s a beautiful, emotional film that, as its title suggests, tells an incredible story..”
