The Barbarian Invasions (Theatrical Version)
This disc includes the 98 minute theatrical version of the movie.
Denys Arcand's The Barbarian Invasions is a story about the humor, hope and unspoken bonds that hold family and friends together against the onslaughts of life in our contemporary times. Winner of several Genies, including Best Picture, and two major awards at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, the film merges Arcand's alternately witty and tender storytelling style with his most deeply emotional tale to date: that of a father and son who think they have nothing left in common until – hit with a major crisis --they learn to share an insatiable appetite for life.

This is a little different movie than any Hollywood movie. It has emotional side and funny side at the same time. It has sometimes unimaginable event happens and that is entertaining. I would put this one as one of the funny movie and don't want to miss.Pass on this one - Isis59
Saw the other version and one of the worst films I have ever seen. French films are usually quite good but this one just drags on and goes nowhere. Very predictable and not able to see this to the end because it was so boring. The actors are good but the storyline is a huge disappointment.Les Invasions Barbarres - DolphLundgren
A truly excellent film. Beautifully written. The performances of the actors were all very strong. Despite some questionably extreme aspects to the story (maybe it's just me), it's entirely believable. There are some special scenes filled with very quick/witty dialogue. The story certainly has its heart-wrenching moments as well. This is just about as good as it gets when it comes to film-making and is a true national treasure.
