Crin blanc: Le cheval sauvage (1953)

English title: White Mane

A wild horse is coveted by the village ranchers (or whatever they call them in France), but they can't keep it imprisoned. A boy wants the horse too, and the horse happens to like him.

A 40-minute film (IMDb reports a five-minute-longer length), with a simple story and extensive footage of wild horses. I do not know whether they were coached or simply observed. Anyway, nothing great, although people seem to admire it.

According to my rules, I should rate the longer version, but not the one I have watched, a weight off my shoulders.
