Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Benedito Dias Rodrigues After an unsuccessful engagement party Nelly (Catherine Deneuve) leaves his fiancée and hiding in the Hotel, meeting Martin (Yves Montand) who help her to run of his angry and abandoned Italian guy...so she goes to your former Boss to receive your money for late payment, but he don't pay her,so she has to stolen a expensive and famous Toulouse Lautrec's painting and looking Martin again to sell it,but he didn't have enough money,but somehow end up on a isolate island where Martin lives an easy life...now he has to send away this disturbed woman...to live in peace!!!Silly but watchable Romantic comedy from these great french actors.

Claudio Carvalho In Caracas, Nelly (Catherine Deneuve) is engaged of Vittorio (Luigi Vannucchi). However, after the engagement party with his family, she calls off the commitment and flees from him lodging in a hotel. Vittorio pursues her but the middle-aged French guest Martin (Yves Montand) helps Nelly. She seeks out her former employer Alex Fox (Tony Roberts), who owns a night-club and owes one-year salary to her, but he does not help her. Nelly steals a valuable painting from his office and heads back to the hotel, hiding in Martin's room. He gets a ticket to Paris for her and leaves her at the airport. Then he sails on his boat to an island where he lives alone. When Martin arrives, he finds Nelly waiting for him in his house. She explains that customs did not allow her to leave Venezuela with the painting. Soon his peaceful life of hermit becomes Hell on Earth, but they fall in love with each other. However Vittorio and Alex are still chasing her. "Le sauvage" is a silly but funny romantic comedy. Catherine Deneuve is gorgeous and her devilish character is totally amoral. There is no reason why men fall for her but her beauty. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "O Selvagem" ("The Savage")

JasparLamarCrabb Jean-Paul Rappeneau's extremely entertaining comedy stars Yves Montand as a disenchanted perfume executive who has his private island (and his ENTIRE life) invaded by flighty Catherine Denueve. She's escaping a pending marriage to hot-blooded lunatic Luigi Vannucchi and proceeds to make Montand's life miserable. Rappeneau's film is so chock full of mayhem, it reaches giddy peaks. A fun, nearly slapstick comedy with undeniable chemistry between the stars. Montand is in top form and Denueve is shockingly loose. Vannucchi is appropriately madcap, stealing each scene he's in. Tony Roberts is also in it and gets a lot of laughs as Deneuve's unsavory ex-boss. Bobo Lewis plays a crafty and unlikely private investigator. A great, very international (it's filmed in Venezuela, NYC and France) comedy.

taylor9885 After thirty, I suppose a legend is able to do pretty much what she wants. Here, Catherine Deneuve, tiring of being the glacial Grace Kelly type for Bunuel, Truffaut et les autres opts for very effective physical comedy alongside Yves Montand.They do Cary Grant-Katharine Hepburn-style farcical routines very well. Deneuve, escaping from her frenetic fiance, hooks up with Montand, who is himself fleeing marital and business entanglements. Tony Roberts, seen in Woody Allen films of the period, does very well as the club owner from whom Deneuve steals a Toulouse-Lautrec, and who must track down the dizzy blonde in Venezuela to get it back. Jean-Paul Rappeneau's direction is accomplished and the scenery is gorgeous. There is a car chase that actually is funny, and I can't recall the last one that made me laugh.
