In the south of France, in a near-desert region caIIed La Camargue, Iives White Mane, a magnificent staIIion and the Ieader of a herd of wild horses too proud to Iet themseIves be broken in by humans. Only Folco, a young fisherman, manages to tame him. A strong friendship grows between the boy and the horse, as the two go Iooking for the freedom that the worId of men won't allow them. Long unavailable in the U.S., this extraordinarily shot wonder from Albert Lamorisse, the director of The Red BaIloon, is a work of technical sophistication and immense natural beauty. |
