Alain E @AlainE Jul 9, 2026 It started ok but as the strike was progressing it became plain boring and I turned it off with 42 minutes to go. More than fifty years ago, before internet and streaming I did read the book in a Greek translation. Zola had the reputation of being a little X rated, although I have no recollection after all these years. On Prime. See more Mar 8, 2015 This movie was ABSOLUTELY terrible. Too long. I had to sit through this movie for several class periods during a French film course. I can truly say, without exaggeration, that the time I spent watching the movie was some of the most torturous moments of my life. However, the scenery in this movie was beautiful. The director dealt with colorful landscapes, and I found this artistic detail refreshing amidst an otherwise terrible movie. However, this was not enough to compensate for this movie.

So realistic I contracted black lung from watching it. See more Mar 24, 2011 Aside from the uneven acting, still a great movie! Excellent depiction of Marx's class conflict in a capatilist economy.
