Why don't women like it?

I'm 21 and I think this is one of the greatest films I've ever seen. The only explanation I could think of, is that a lot of women said they didn't like Garance. Thought she wasn't that pretty, she was coldhearted and didn't see how those guys could fall in love with her. I think that it's kind of shallow to think about the leading lady like this; you just have to go with it and with the story even when you think she isn't that pretty. If I'm making any sense.

Does anyone know where I could get the restored one Pathe made on DVD or if there are any other good versions? I've checked Amazon, but I don't think those are that good of a quality.

This, I do not understand. This is about female empowerment.

A similar theme is used in Spike Lee's first feature, 'She's Gotta Have It', in which a young woman won't submit to any of the 3 men she's involved with.

Carpe Noctem!

Those "22 girls" under 18 probably watched his film by accident.

I highly doubt that out of the "22 girls" was there a single passionate cinephile or were truly qualified to give a coherent film analysis.

Anyway, 22 isn't a strong sample of anything. Too little information.

It could be bots too.

So I wouldn't take any imdb poll too seriously.

Also, mostly only cinephiles and the older generation that have heard or seen this film.

It is sad that such a masterpiece is overlooked, while crap gets glorified. But it's OK because at least these sublime films exist and we're lucky to encounter them. Better than nothing.
