Info

A beautiful lyrical portrait of the life and work of Juliette de Bairacli Levy: herbalist, author, breeder of Afghan hounds, friend of the Gypsies, traveller in search of herbal wisdom and the pioneer of holistic veterinary medicine. Her well-loved and now classic herbal remedies for animals and for children have been a vital inspiration to the present day herbal renaissance and holistic animal care community. For more than 60 years Juliette lived with the Gypsies, nomads and peasants of the world, learning the healing arts of these people who live close to nature, and learning from nature herself. Now 85 years of age, Juliette's life story is as colourful and exciting as her tremendous wealth of herbal knowledge. Filmed on location in many beautiful countries, and interwoven with Juliette's vast collection of archival photographs, together with scenes of Gypsies dancing and Bedouins with their herds.

Juliette of The Herbs Audience Reviews

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
pingnick Juliette grew up in England and was formally educated as a veterinarian. Unfortunately, she discovered that her training didn't teach her how to cure animals of many ailments she encountered. So, she rekindled her semitic and nomadic ancestry and travelled the mediterranean and later the world learning from others how to care for herself, her family and the animals of the world. She wrote books about her herbal treatments (rosemary is her favorite) for ailments which western allopathic veterinary science didn't cure. The movie becomes an inspiring story about what you can do with your life but also propaganda for leading a vegetarian and simple existence. The thing that bothered me most was the narration which biased me against Juliette (because it was automatically preachy and aggrandizing) until she could speak for herself. Well, if you are looking for an inspiring documentary you don't have to look further!
