Parts of it filmed in my hometown & on waterways I have fished. Watch & form your own opinion. I'm biased since it's about town's I grew up around.
Little Chenier: A Cajun Story I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this film, considering I'm from Louisiana, where the movie was filmed. It definitely tugs at your heart strings. The story line was immaculate. It teaches a lesson of how to treat and how not to treat those with mental challenges. Just because someone is mentally challenged, does not mean that they can't experience all aspects of life like normal people. Pemon's character portrays that very well. Therefore, I suggest those that are interested, you have to watch this film. Thank you.
Don't waste your time Having just seen this movie, I can only agree that the music is great and the scenery is fantastic! I love seeing anything shot in Louisiana. The story and the acting are what brought this movie way down... It's kind of like growing up and being told that two wrongs don't make a right. Accent is everything and too many times I thought to myself wow, that doesn't sound right. Having read other reviews, I realize this may go against the grain, but I can't ever reccomend this movie to a friend if I would want them to see southern Louisiana or a great movie.
One of the Best Movies of All Time This movie is outstanding. It's a must-see. It's a must-own. It's a touching Cajun story that sings to the tune of "Sling Blade" and "Of Mice and Men." It is truly amazing.
I think the most gripping part of it all is that none of what you see in the film exists any longer. The floating homes, the moss, the cypress, the nests of les gros bec - Rita took it all away. She took it away just one month after this film finished shooting. It could very well be the last footage anyone has of this sacred region before it was destroyed.
"Little Chenier: A Cajun Story" offers a way for anyone to see what Cajun country used to be. It is also a fine example of who we are and how we live.
The story is superb. The film itself is a haunting reminder of this part of the bayou no more - this, the bayou we still love.
A wonderfully written and filmed story What makes me love this movie is that, unlike most movies today, this film actually tells a story. How the lives in this small area are intertwined, and how each person's actions have such an effect on the others is beautifully portrayed. I actually cared about these characters and their lives. Maybe that is why it isn't an easy story to hear, especially if you watch the alternate ending, but it is so worth the time. I'll buy this one because it is worth watching more than once, in part for the scenery, but also because there is so much there I'm guessing I'll find more if I watch it again. Even if you're not up to buying this, at least put it at the top of your rental list.
