Although the movie’s sensuality wouldn’t raise an eyebrow nowadays, it’s easy to peek how audiences from the 50’s would have been affected by Brigitte Bardot’s sensuous construct and how this movie revolutionized the foreign film market. A dependable delight to ogle, wild-child Brigitte teases with her bouncy hurry and her tight sweaters. And, yes, she can even act! In the role of Juliette, an incredibly attractive orphaned young woman living in a seaside village, Brigitte keeps the blooming balance between the constant flirt (who’s misunderstood as being the loosest girl in town) and the woman who yearns to have a “normal” married life despite her attraction to her brother-in-law. Contrary to celebrated opinion and despite Juliette’s regrettable infidelity, there’s really no sex in this movie, unless you deem a one-time tush shot to be overly sexual. The DVD booklet mentions how some audiences originally misperceived this film’s sexuality to be so valiant that rampant gossip soon generated complaints about scenes that weren’t even in the movie! The cinematography is breathtaking, with the Riviera beckoning you to fade there…or at least visit for an extended period of time. The only aspect of the movie that is dated and very worthy out-of-sync with unique times is the attitude that men are proper to women and that, with apt discipline and control, women can be kept in line and “forced” to fancy their husbands.
The Criterion edition is, as always, incredible. With director Vadim’s approval prior to his passing away, the movie was restored to its current uncut version in a fair widescreen format. The digital tranfer is impressive and one of the extras on the disc illustrates the clean-up process and provides before-and-after comparisons. The colors are now mettlesome and vibrant, and the print is crisp and definite. Qualified restoration and clean-up! The current US theatrical trailer is included and is hilarious as it makes the movie seem so cheap, sleazy and lurid.
Now here comes the downer: this movie deserves better English subtitles and infinitely better English dubbing. If you’re trying to learn French, you don’t want to do it with these subtitles. I found them to be quite improper during a few scenes and, with no rapid-fire dialog in this film to define it, not as ample as they should have been. These inaccuracies don’t detract from the legend as a whole, but given that this is a Criterion release, I feel more attention should have been paid to this aspect of the film. As far as the dubbing is concerned, don’t even bother. After a slight or so of listening to the dubbed version, it’s apparent why the dubbed feature isn’t listed on the DVD case. The actors’ readings are flat and boring. Criterion has proved repeatedly they can do remarkable better than that, so what happened here?

I calm give the movie itself 5 stars for it is an enchanting time capsule into 50’s psychology, and it’s a favorable narrative as well. And how can you not give 5 stars to Brigitte Bardot! I did subtract one star for the quite foul subtitles. Calm, for around $20, you can regain a fun romp with Brigitte in the Riviera of the 1950’s. Sounds valid to me. Worth owning.
After having seen so many movies during the last 25 years, I’m beginning to understand two or three things about cinema. For example, it’s impossible to profess a passion for cinema if the movies you explore are only masterpieces. Have me or not, but I’m not able to witness three Fellini or Bergman’s movies in a row without feeling a bit bored. I MUST frigid down and refresh my neurones by watching a poor sci-fi movie or a John Wayne movie of the 50’s ( he starred in a lot of very cheap films…) .
Director Roger Vadim’s AND GOD CREATED WOMAN is, in my plan, one of these movies you cannot neglect if you truly care for cinema. Not because Roger Vadim is an unknown genius but because of the actress who plays the main character : Brigitte Bardot. You simply have to contain one of her movies in your library and since only three or four movies starring BB have passed with success the test of time, AND GOD CREATED WOMAN could be your first choice.
But remember that Roger Vadim was not Billy Wilder and that the french Marilyn Monroe had to count solely on her sex-appeal to attract the audience. And it serene works. Brigitte Bardot shot a lot of dreadful movies, she was not, in my belief, a satisfactory actress but she ignited the veil. She was a genuine Star. And I’m not ashamed to have this DVD in my library.

The copy presented by Criterion is simply perfect, a trailer and a restoration demonstration as bonus features, the choice between the standard and the widescreen version, and english subtitles.
A BB DVD.
