Product: La Guerre du feu (1982)
Rating: 5.0
Rated XXX
A thinly veiled veiw of modern day america set in prehistoric times. Inadverdently, the makers of the film manage to convey what life must have been like without matches, Coleman lanterns or flame throwers. Actually, they do show an early form of the flame thrower. At the beginning of the movie a caveman picks up a burning branch and "throws" it at some stock film footage of a wolf. The net result is that night turns into day for a few seconds of screen time but thankfully, the wolf runs away anyway. Needless to say, the special effects are a bit dated now and in order to enjoy the movie, you have to take into account that special effects have greatly improved since prehistoric times. The fact that you can tell what's going on for an hour and half without anyone speaking english is worthy of some kind of award. This movie still works to some extent because it was well done for the time it was done in and the acting is good.
