The Tutor ( La tutora ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Germany ]

it is odd story of kids they grew up wild without parents but do have maid who love them and let them be wild and free till the tutor come to stay and trying to raise and teach them education and manner but i will not spoil it. Like i said it is very odd story but pretty good so far. I'm glad it has English subtitles. I love Ivan Noel films he made a lot interesting films and looking forward his next movies. I give a 9.5 this movie for me. I do not know about your beause we all are different people

Another triumph by Ivan Noel! Right on target as usual. His movies are highly controversial, but socially accurate. He tells in his films the truth nobody wants to speak. For those who like polemical movies, this is it! I also recommend watching 'Rejected and Chaos'.We humans forget, that we are animals not gods. The use of reason is no excuse for feeling superior. Breath taking settings and footage of nature. Excellent psychological drama with an interesting twist in the end.Spoiler. This is not a non-stop action movie. It's not amusing entertainment, it's a film for critical thinking and openminded analysis.And a very good one, indeed!

Censorship note: The German-released, 16-and-up rated, Alive DVD is uncensored, and the English subtitling is excellent. Multiple other reviewers report that the Meridian DVD and the Meridian BluRay are censored versions. The Spanish-language version via Vemox channel on Prime Video is also censored. Of course, Amazon and its suppliers fail to flag this, which is apparently still legal. Hmmph. By censoring this film, Amazon, Meridian, and Vemox are catering to the very prejudices that Noel's film criticizes, and to some extent, reducing its impact.On to the movie:Homophobia, mental illness, sexual precociousness, vigilantism, child sex abuse, betrayal, paranormal phenomena, and revenge: all of this swirls together in Ivan Noel’s philosophical horror film The Tutor. The end result, disturbing to most of us on multiple levels, is both highly entertaining and thought-provoking.Mona is hired, she thinks, to educate Angel and Ema, 11-year-old orphaned brother and sister who, she soon discovers, live well beyond “free range.” Whether some events are real or paranormal or hallucinatory is unclear at times. And that, it turns out, is as intended. What is actually going on is indicated by several hints quite early, but, as sometimes happens, the most definitive clue was too subtly presented (for me) and I only learned about it in the “Making Of” special feature on the Alive DVD. But in the end, it all makes sense.How intense is this film? After watching it, and especially the ending, I was glad to have the “Making Of” available, to remind myself that the actors are not the characters. Running with that idea allows me to tell myself that rather than a proffered course of action, The Tutor instead represents Ivan Noel’s primal scream of pain, dedicated to all victims of moral extremism.Where “extremism” begins is a debate that will long endure. Meanwhile, here is an interesting movie, well worth watching.

Disc was in good condition

I've purchased the supposedly uncut Meridian Blu-Ray and I am confirming it is indeed censored! The subs are also horrible on this release and the picture periodically artifacts. If you want the TRUE uncensored, uncut version, you will have to import the German DVD, and yes it does have English subs. I will certainly avoid ALL Meridian releases in the future as I do not support censorship in any way whatsoever!!!

The description lies - this is NOT an uncut version of the film, several scenes have been edited removing elements that are present in the original version (in the scene where the kids bathe in a horse trough and later when they skinny-dip in the pool). While these cuts don't hurt the plot, they are annoying for viewers who expected and paid for a full version of the film. A "Director's Cut" should have MORE material, not LESS. Also, the picture quality is not as good as it was shot and is pixelated if you freeze-frame. Avoid this copy by MRG (Meridian Releasing) and seek another version.

I wasn't really sure what to make of this movie at first.... like what is the point?Let me sum up the movie...We are animals and just smart enough to convince ourselves that were not. Very beautiful and disturbing to say the least. Worth a watch at least twice the movie has a lot to say and makes you really think about who we are as humans and where our morality comes from

An intense and cerebral flick. Will definitely require several views to wrap one’s head around (I haven’t figured it out yet). As other reviewers advised, be sure to get a CMV-Laservision copy; and NOT the censored version from Meridian. There -IS- a small amount of newdity, but nothing close-up and certainly not gratuitous.
