影片以18世纪罗马尼亚的地下秘密组织“兄弟会”为线索,该组织密谋推翻贵族政府为目的。影片拍摄时期为罗马尼亚共产党执政时期,对“兄弟会”进行颂扬。当时的罗马尼亚受到法国大革命的影响,民族主义运动兴起。片中的“兄弟会”酝酿发动革命推翻贵族统治,而黄玫瑰则帮助 “兄弟会”与贵族军队作战。影片本来要拍成《007》那样的系列电影,但是因为后来罗马尼亚政局变化,电影业私有化,最后只拍到了第八部。 影片风格是美国西部片式的。男主角马尔杰拉图神出鬼没,神勇无比,为“兄弟会”出生入死。他不停地嗑瓜子动作,成为他的招牌。扮演马尔杰拉图的演员叫弗洛林·彼耶尔西克,据说,他在罗马尼亚电影表演界的地位,与现在的罗马尼亚电影创作协会主席塞尔裘·尼古莱斯库相当。片中的黄玫瑰很像个美国牛仔。比如,他的枪法很好,还会趴在地上听马蹄声,而且片中还出现了西部片必然会有的场面:群马追击四轮...

Summary Bullied by his matriarchal mother, abused by his siblings, ignored by his father, Poil de Carotte's childhood is as miserable as it could be. An illegitimate child, he is the main reason for the enmity which exists between his parents, who continue to live together just to keep up appearances. In the end, Poil de Carotte's suffering becomes more than he can bear... Review Drawing heavily on the poignant novel by Jules Renard on which it is based, Poil de carotte is a modest yet appealing film which has stood the test of time mainly because of the quality of its acting performances and its inherent humanity. It is more memorable than Julien Duvivier's earlier silent version of 1925, also named Poil de Carotte. The part of Poil de Carotte was played by 11 year old Robert Lynen, who was alleged to have been discovered whilst walking down the Champs-Elysées in Paris. Lynen is totally captivating and the film made him an instant star, launching what looked like becoming a very promising film career – until he was shot dead whilst fighting against the Germans in 1944. Harry Baur, a legendary stage and film actor (who also died during World War II, allegedly at the hands of the Gestapo), also turns in a typically fine performance. The reconciliation between father and son at the end of the film provides its most enduring image, enough to melt the heart of all but the most stoical of spectators.
