----LE PACTE DES LOUPS--- or
-- --The Brotherhood of the Wolf--- or -------El Pacto de los Lobos---- ---title in French, English and Spanish, respectively)
....IS (IMO) ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL MOVIES IN MODERN CINEMA!!!!!!!
LE PACTE DES LOUPS is a very entertaining movie at the beginning and a film that invites a lot to reflection and afterthought in its middle and final parts. It also has very nice scenarios, both natural and man-made. It keeps us most of the time wondering about the outcome of the three parts that (IMO) constitute the central plot: the story of the characters, the story of the hunting of "The Beast of Gévaudan" and the history of La France and Europe as a whole during those years, corrupt monarchies and controlling church included.
Scenography is very good and really makes us dream about the "époque" the film talks about, with all its good and bad (and sometimes very very bad) things. We also had some very decent scenes of action and an overall feeling of being experiencing things very close to they way they should have been in France during the seventeen hundred and something. An eclectic mix of drama, terror, eroticism, martial arts and both historical and detective novels that I found completely enjoyable, thrilling and satisfying!!!!!!!
One of the most interesting things, I guess, is reading in the IMBb Trivia Facts about the real existence of a "Beast of Gévaudan" during the XVIII Century, same as most of the main characters depicted by the movie, even when we know that a lot of it'd have been novelized, knowing that virtually all the elements in the movie have at least some historical background is impressive, to say the least.
