My Queen Karo, an independent movie with a touch of class and so much heart
These independent movies do not have the hollywood glitter and are very honest and genuine. The up and coming young actress was outstanding in her role in this film, as all the others actors and actresses. Keep an open mind with movies such as this, as they are not hollywood and do lack all the censorship and restrictions of the high budget Hollywood movie. The character, Karo was played with so much heart as her family moved into a commune of some sort I believe set in the 1970s. If your a hollywood movie buff, this is not for you, but if a fan and collector of independent movies that push the boundaries of censorship and honesty than I am sure you will love, My Queen Karo. Thank you to the seller for this beautiful movie.

Superb movie!
I checked it out of our local library and watched it several times, then I knew I had to own it. Now I've watched it countless times and it never gets old. There are still things that I hadn't noticed in previous viewings. The story is very moving.

Good Movie. Quite Different form most.
Consult IMDB for the plot. This was a very offbeat movie that kept me guessing. I never knew what to expect next. I grieved for the child and the neglect and hardships that were thrust upon her by thoughtless self-absorbed parents. The bohemian lifestyle was difficult to adjust to. I kept correcting the adults in my mind when they made mistakes in judgment and proper parenting. Karo is a lovely child and a likable character. I empathized with her dilemma and was stunned by her ignorance of animal biology. 'Nuff said.Good movie. Just NOT for those of Victorian or Christian values. Much nudity, 'free love', sex and such.

beatiful and powerful
A beautiful and powerful film, well worth a watch if you like anything out of the "mainstream." If you only like blockbuster hits, skip this one, it will be over your head.

Worth the wait
Foeign movies are sometimes hard to find--I had to wait a few days after first ordering it to become available, but if you don't mind waiting a bit, it's worth it!

She struggles to make sense of the free love, nudity
This film is a story of a girl who deals with life in a 1970s commune. She struggles to make sense of the free love, nudity, and unorthodox living of her parents. Her free loading father finally accepts her desire to excel at something (swimming in her case), which finally makes her content. This film is worth your time.

The Dutch release DVD is vastly superior to this poor USA one.
My one star rating relates only to the USA Vanguard release of this film. I would give five stars to the vastly superior Dutch Lumiere release.If you can play region 2 DVDs, the Dutch Lumiere release should be the option of choice instead of this poor USA Vanguard release.What is wrong with the Vanguard release? For a start, the 1.85:1 widescreen picture is letterboxed. It is formatted to not fit your widescreen television. Secondly, the English subtitles are enforced. Finally, instead of placing those enforced subtitles in the copious areas of black screen surrounding the miniature picture in the middle, they are placed within the picture, so as to both make them difficult to read and to spoil your enjoyment of what little picture there is.Perversely, the trailer of the main feature, and the promotional trailers for two other films, are presented on the disc in anamorphic widescreen, as the main feature should have been.By comparison, the Lumiere release presents the film in anamorphic widescreen, has optional Dutch, French or English subtitles and a making of extra. It is the much superior DVD version of this interesting film.
