Jean Giono's portrait of the horseman on the roof is as much a social portrait of the 1832 Provencal cholera epidemic as it is of the reflections and actions of his Stendhalian protagonist.
Read together, Giono's The Horseman on the Roof and Camus' The Plague (see this database), written only four years before, dramatically underscore the diversity and autonomy of literary representation of medical subject matter.

 Metroactive Movies | The Horseman on the Roof
The Horseman on the Roof, composed to the point of featurelessness, preserves Giono's plotting but not his language.
Unfortunately, where Giono's book takes you into the complex mind of a cavalier in an era during which aristocracy was ebbing away, the film just gives you the exteriors, costumes and scenery, making it only moderately interesting as an action picture and fairly unstimulating as a love story.
The Horseman on the Roof (R; 118 min.), directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau, written by Nina Companeez, Jean-Claude Carriere and Rappeneau based on the novel by Jean Giono, photographed by Thierry Arbogast and starring Juliette Binoche and Olivier Martinez.

 Review: The Horseman On the Roof   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The two protagonists in The Horseman on the Roof are Angelo Pardi (played by a hunky Olivier Martinez), an Italian Carbonaro in exile, and Pauline de Theus (Juliette Binoche), a married French noblewoman.
Although much of The Horseman on the Roof is more lighthearted than many sweeping melodramas, there are moments of stark, horrifying power.
Despite all of this, however, The Horseman on the Roof is not a transcendent experience.

HORSEMAN ON THE ROOF (LE HUSSARD SUR LE TOIT) (France, 1995) ***
As the corpses pile up (in gruesome, gory images that, however, are used functionally and not exploited for effect), lynch mobs form.
One of them attacks Angelo who is accused to be "a well-poisoner." That's when, among his other escape tactics, he goes up on a roof.

 Horseman On The Roof
Synopsis: Six years after his "Cyrano de Bergerac," starring Gerard Depardieu, received worldwide acclaim as the definitive screen presentation of that literary classic, director Jean-Paul Rappeneau and his "Cyrano" team have worked their magic with another French treasure, Provencal novelist Jean Giono's "The Horseman on the Roof."
Set mostly in Provence during the infamous 1832 cholera epidemic, the story follows two strangers (Juliette Binoche and Olivier Martinez) brought together by circumstance, who join forces to find ways back to their respective homes.
Box Office critic Wade Major calls THE HORSEMAN ON THE ROOF "a ravishing spectacle of epic proportions," adding that it "ranks among the most satisfying imports to grace American screens in years, a rousing blend of swashbuckling adventure, chivalrous romance and intense human drama."
