An impressive and well made historic canvas!
1560. Jean de Coras, Toulouse Parliament ` s Counselor, undertakes a rigorous investigation in Artigat, a small French village about the story of an imposture.
Engages your senses
When I first viewed The Return of Martin Guerre in a Washington, D.C. arthouse cinema when it originally came out, it became firmly etched in my psyche as one of the most memorable films I had ever seen.Over time -- and throughout numerous viewings of my own copy of the film purchased several years ago -- my reverence for this film has only increased.Yes, it introduced me to the prodigious talents of Mr. Depardieu.Yes, it has an intriguing plot with a passionate and surprising, yet, somehow inevitable conclusion.However, the most memorable aspect of the film for me has always been how all of the film's elements combine to make the viewer completely experience medieval France.As you watch the characters in their homes, speaking with one another, you swear you can SMELL their unwashed, earthy-smelling bodies.When you see people trudging through the rutted streets, you can FEEL the sucking of the mud as it tries to keep the boots of the pedestrians in its grasp.Never have I been more involved in a film on so many levels simultaneously.I have recommended this film too many times to count, and I have loaned my copy out only to trusted friends.You don't just "watch" Martin Guerre, you truly experience it.

Will the real Martin Guerre please stand up
This excellent movie is a suspenseful mystery involving possible mistaken identity, with a strong Hitchcockian feeling to it, set in a mid-1500s peasant village in France. Martin Guerre (Gerard Depardieu) marries Bertrande (Nathalie Baye) but soon after disappears. Eight years later he returns - but is it really him?

The very best Highlander Season
It is great to finally watch the fourth season again,and for the very first time watch them in English and with Eurominutes both. I have been a Highlander Fan since the first (and only acceptable) movie 1985, and I was a fan of the series since it came to German in 1993 (I think). But I always could only see it in German dubbing. Until now. And the fourth season is the best one - dramatically, and for the quality of the show. The fifth is a close runner-up, because it has unforgettable episodes like Comes a Horseman, Revelations and Forgive Us Our Tresspasses; but the overall development of Duncan in the fourth Season is breathtaking to watch again, and than there are episodes like Timeless, Something Wicked and Deliverance, with a breathtaking Dark Duncan MacLeod who seems still a bit too harmless to be really an irredeemable bad guy, but also shows all the necessary Horseman-material. And in the end: Judgement Day! With it's first thrilling hints about hos it would look if it ever came to war between watchers and Immortals! WOW!
Changes in Highlander
A darker look at Duncan MacLeod, that showed variety in the show, if not it's best side. What a brilliant series
Highlander is a wonderful series and season 4 is one of my favorites. Adrian Paul is magnificent as always but really puts in one of his best performances aa the Evil Duncan MacLeod.Read more

Highlander the Series Season1
Highlander the Series, Season 1 is not as flashy as later seasons, but the story line is good, the shows are well done, enjoyable and give you a solid base for Highlander lore. Hardcore Highlander Fan
I own all of the Highlander movies, as well as all of the Highlander: The Series 1-6. I don't think there was ever a better series on T.V. Not only is Adrian Paul fantastic to look at, the theme and messages were very well thought out. Since it appealed to a young(er) audience (& yes there was violence) but it taught overcoming adversity, fighting for what you believe in, and that doing the right thing is important (especially when you live forever) it spans all emotions: humor,love,sadness,tragedy and more, all of the things that make up LIFE. I highly recommend all of the series, start with the first and keep going til the end, it is better than any series on T.V. today.

Quite good
People don't believe me when I say that the TV serious had many episodes that are better than the films, but it's true. This series was very creative, and thrived in relative obscurity. Read more

Interesting story lines:Eye of the Beholder & Avenging Angel
The first story line shows the conflict from the different pathways taken by an old close friend,Piton,an immortal, and Duncan MacLeod.Richie also is involved in this conflict.He is not yet an immortal and gets in overhis head.Personally, I like the psychology of it.There are good fightscenes plus a novel way for Richie to get away from Piton. In the end,Duncan must kill his old friend.He has only sorrow and no joy when thisis accomplished. The second story is along the idea that if a moderatelyinsane man becomes immortal after death, what does the immortality do tohim and his sanity.Clever story development.He becomes the granddaddyof all religious fanatics. Whereas before immortality, he was just anuisance, now he is dangerous because he begins to kill"sinners." Tessa meets an old friend of her university days andgets a rude awakening that causes her grief. Duncan is unable to help thenew immortal and eventually faces him in combat after Tessa was threatened. ... Read more

Saving Grace
I really want to get this video about the Pope.

Tessa gets sorely tried by Mac's "old" friends.
Saving Grace: Mac meets Grace, another immortal, in 1660.She will not accept Mac's warning about her lover, Sendaro.After a century, she leaves him as she can no longer tolerate his dictatorial and cruel ways. He killsher newer lover and frames Grace. Tessa tells Duncan that she understandsGrace is his friend and in trouble.She would expect him to helpher. Come to Duncan for help
These two videos follow the same plot lines. Both women come to Duncan for help. In "Saving Grace" Grace is sincere and really needs his help from an immortal stalker who can't get over the relationship they oncehad. In "The Lady and the Tiger," we get the first viewing ofAmanda. The graceful thief who you will grow to love. She is trying to saveher head from her fellow partner in crime from years ago. Why not offer himDuncan's. ... Read more

Xavier St Cloud, The First
If you missed the first episode with Xavier St. Cloud, this is the episode you'll want to see. At the end MacLeod only takes St Cloud's hand and tell's Tessa, he'll remember. (St Cloud is killed in second episode of Unholy Alliance). The second episode is not quite as good, but "For Tomorror We Die" makes up for the second episode. If you are a fan of Highland - The Series, it won't matter. You'll enjoy watching both of these epiosdes uncut. ... Read more

Highlander The Series Vol 5
Vol Six is one of my favorites because of the background scenery.. the gardens and graveyards ...but is memorable for Adrian Paul's acting and closure to his life with Tessa...He drew me into the storyline so skillfully my emotions changed with his..

Highlander -Season 1(Sea Witch/Revenge is Sweet)
I heartily recommend this video as either a entry into the special magic of Highlander or a must see for Highlander collectors."The Sea Witch will give you myfavorite part of Highlander, the historically accurate flashbacks. Adrian Paul has a gift for languages, and it shows. I like the vibe between him and the captain of the Sea Witch, it is delightfully sinister."Revenge is Sweet" the second episode of this tape, hooked me and shaped me into a rabid Highlander fan many years ago. I was fascinated by Adrian Paul's agility and swordsmanship. It was a multi-layered performance, with a dazzling appearance by Vanity. ... Read more

Mediocre
I�m a fan of the highlander series since my childhood. Unusualtwist to story in Bad Day at Building A
Duncan drives Tessa and Richie to the police dept. so she can pay up a stack of speeding tickets. (Tsk!Tsk!) He awakens from dozing and hears shots fired in the building.Tearing off to the rescue, he is captured atthe elevator by the dangerous felon and his cohorts.As a hostage,hevolunteers to be 'killed'. Now follows a cat and mouse hunt and seek as hedispenses each bad guy to win the war. The very tender side of Duncan isshown when he has to take on the responsibility of protecting and caringfor a little girl whose father works in the building. [Literarylicense--who would take a little girl to his work and put her in a janitorcloset as big as two rooms together and leave her there all day alone?] Thestory puts the SWAP team of the police in a bad light of conflict with theone in communication with the killer.The team itself is efficient. Four hundred years of adventures with the Highlander
If you are a fan of the martial arts,if you can enjoy the excitment of sword fighting,and the romance and adventures of four hundred years in the life of the Highlander, you will love the series staring Adrian Paul, afeast for the eyes as well as the imagination!Read more

highlander-ish
It was a fresh, well-written episode although it contradicted the Highlander movies. This episode was fantastic and memorable. Highlander: The Gathering
AWESOME. After the firts Highlander movie in 1985, Connor MacLeod returnsto action, as he realizes that he is not alone, and that he did notreaceived the Prize, but the Gathering, that Ramirez ones told him about,and the pursuit of the Prize has began in 1985, and it will be end untilonly one remains. So, Connor goes on search of Slan Quince, an evil andruthless Immortal, who kills the mortal familys of other Immortals, tryingto get them into his search, and winning them because of their phychicalweakness (something like that might have happend to Connor in the past).And sfter his wife's death in 1987 by a car accident, and having leftRamirez's sword close to his grave (after he won the man who killed him -The Kurgan), Connor takes an old friend's "Silver Braid" katana,and goes on Seacouver, where he finds again his long-time friend andkinsman Duncan MacLeod, who was born 74 years after him. Duncan, who wasalso a student of Connor's, is living for the last 12 years with TessaNoel, a artist. But now, Duncan must re-enter the Game, because if hedon't, he must have to face the death of his girlfriend, Tessa. There Can Be Only One.... Remember that rule?
This first episode of the great TV serie, is by far one the bset episodes of the series, not only because Connor McLeod (the original Highlander, played greatfully by Christopher Lambert) is in it, making with his brief-but welcomed- appearence, a linkage the movies with the series (unlikeothers television shows, that they are just take the basic theme of thefilm, and transfered to the series, making with that a GREAT bastardisationof the film), and provides the Immortal universe to the next step. However,this episode (as the whole series does) is centered to Duncan McLeod, aclansmen and student of Connor McLeod, who was out of the Game, and withthe help of Connor, he returns in it. Adrian Paul is wonderfull as DuncanMcLeod, a character verry different to Connors. Richard Moll is just good,but could be better.This episode, one of the best of the series (alongwith "Watchers" "The End of Innocense" and others), canbe easily called as "The Other Highlander 2", because is verrymuch better than this AWFULL movie. It has more story, and the developmentsof the characters are just great. Its easily a better sequel of theoriginal movie than the "Highlander 2: The Quickening" ... Read more

The best of the best...
Season 3 was the best season of Highlander the series.Introducing some new and important characters to the rest of the series.It is one of the most exciting, though I enjoyed all six seasons.We meet Methos and run into some serious villains.The season ends on a really exciting note with a two parter introducing Kallas, an immortal who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, even at the sacrifice of all Immortals and Watchers. A must have for any Highlander fan, Or any fan of Historical Fantasy.

Arguably the best season

HOME COMING
I HAVE WATCDEDHIGHLANDER SERIES FROM THE BEING , I HAVE TRIED TO BUY IT , THE ONE THAT I WANT IS THE HOME COMINGBUT FOR SOME REASON NO ONE HAS HEARD OF IT OR CAN'T GET WITH OUT BUYING THE WHOLE SERIES

The Road Not Taken & Innocent Man are quite different .
The first story is more like a gangster story with the twist of the old immortal friend, Kiem Sun, thinking he is going to save mankind by a special herbal formula that will make an invincible army.Unfortunately itkills.Duncan gets involved when he recognizes the pattern of death thathappened to Richie's friend.Sun can not grasp what Duncan is trying toteach him.Sun's apprentice finds a way to use the herbal potion for hisown need for power and wealth. This type of story is not one that Ipersonally enjoy but others will. The psychology is good. Is Sun"good" or not? Read more

Highlander Continues
When Highlander arrived on TV, it started out with a good concept (taken from the first film, primarily), a real hero (Duncan - played with great self-assurance by Adrian Paul), but some bumps in the road that gave it a TV feel. This is evident in the first season, as the episodes are hit and miss, and the show wasn't operating on all cylinders until near the end of the season. Read more
