A worthy quest
If you're looking for a movie with words then this isn't for you. If you're looking for a movie with a lot of action then, again, this isn't for you. But if you're looking for a movie that explores what early man may have lived through, but with realism then this movie is right up your alley.In Quest for Fire the director shows his vision with amazing clarity. The costumes are also really good. They look exactly what I would expect early man to look like. No well groomed cave men in this movie.It is slow though for a modern audience. The movie kind of slides along at a gentle pace. It may bore a few people, but it's not really boring enough to want to turn it off. Cavemen didn't spend all their time running from animals trying to eat them.It's light on action, blood, and sex. The actual sex parts are handled very tastefully, and more in a cultural context than just to be there.It's apparently a classic and I can see why it is.
