Galathea Audience Reviews

Alicia I love this movie so much
Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
boblipton The Greek legend of Pygmalion and Galatea get the Lotte Reininger silhouette treatment in this lovely and funny adaptation of the old Greek myth. Pygmalion falls in love with his statue of a beautiful woman and his prayers are answered: she becomes a live woman -- in this case she transforms from part of the painted background into one of Reininger's silhouette figures. But Pygmalion, who has conventional ideas of how women should behave, finds that his creation has different ideas of what she wants....Lotte Reininger's silhouettes may be difficult to follow, since the aesthetics involved are different from standard movies: but the beauties of her details and her sense of humor should be enough to draw you in, should you be fortunate enough to see them.
