In de Alpen, waar de sneeuw ongerept is, de berggeiten van rots naar rots springen en de bergtoppen de wolken raken, woont de jonge Sébastien in een vredig dorpje, vlak voor de inval van de Duitsers. Op een dag komt Sébastien komt oog in oog te staan met een wilde hond. Hij noemt haar Belle. Een diepe vriendschap bloeit. Maar de dorpelingen verdenken Belle ervan de schapen te doden. Dus gaan ze op jacht. Ondertussen zorgt de bezetter voor beroering in het dorp en verweven heel wat verhalen zich met dat van Belle en Sébastien... (Belga Films)

A prime example of the old fashioned family adventure movie; they don’t make them like this anymore. And also a new adaptation of Belle and Sebastian that doesn’t lose points for deviating from the original and shifting setting to the time of German occupation. At least for most of the time, because it’s mainly still about them two. Unfortunately the final “winter" quarter went a different way than it should have done and the so far very convincingly incorporated wartime milieu suddenly starts looking very farfetched, in a way that doesn’t fit the established style of a big mountain friendship “that endures".

There’s actually nothing wrong with this story at all. It takes place – silly as it may sound – in the times of World War 2 that are very attractive for filmmakers. It tells the story of an orphan who makes friends with a stray dog and this entire interesting story revolves around the beautiful countryside of the French Alps. On top of that, the director is very generous and along with the director of cinematography they have created beautiful film shots that are literally a pleasure to watch. A very well-made family flick.

A classic story that doesn't necessarily try to be appealing at all costs, but you'll still have the feeling throughout that it's somehow deliberately playing on emotions. You can see quite a bit of the American, somewhat sentimental style of filmmaking here, but it's a movie that brings this traditional story to a new, younger generation.
