Movie Description
Travernier's thematic follow-up to his 1989 WWI film "Life and Nothing But" in which a desensitized guerrilla platoon pillages and plunders the Balkan front for an entire year after the armistice. Script based on Roger Vercel's 1934 autobiographical novel. Awarded 2 Cesars (French Oscars) for best director--Travernier, and best actor--Phillipe Torreton.
Industry Reviews
"...A vast yet subtle film....[Tavernier] creates one of his most memorably ambiguous characters while also giving the film's battle scenes an unusual, visceral style....[Torreton] powerfully embodies the film's central questions..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (09/10/1997)
"...It brings home the brutal senselessness of war by immersing the viewer in frighteningly vivid battle scenes....It also strikes a haunting tone..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Lloyd Sachs (01/02/1998)
