Intriguing French film from the 80's
5 May 2023
Intriguing and intense French noir crime and mystery drama based on the 1984 novel of the same name written by Pierre Magnan, who also co-wrote the film's screenplay.

The story is based on the life of an orphaned World War I soldier, who arrives in a small village where he will come across many unexpected revelations.

Simple but quality production, with great interpretations and solid direction. Excellent script, with firm hands from the author of the original book behind the good work.

I saw this movie at the theaters when I was 20 years old and at the time I loved it, it was etched in my memory. I never had the opportunity to watch it again, it may be that nowadays it looks in a different form, but I am absolutely sure that it is still a good film for anyone who wants to see good European cinema from the 80s.
