(1982) The Return Of Martin Guerre/ Le retour de Martin Guerre
(In French with English subtitles)
PSYCHOLOGICAL MYSTERY
Seen this movie many years ago about an unknown coming to a village portraying himself to be Martin Guerre played by veteran actor Gerald Depardieu who may or may not be him. The wife of the real Guerre does eventually begin to accept him even though majority of the villagers do not depicting a time period which is during the Medieval times when people believed in witches. I saw this film once and don't think I'll ever see it again since it's strictly by the book and already know what I can't get from other films for instance "The Scarlet Letter" which centers on this time period. It inspired a remake starring Richard Gere and Jodie Foster called "Sommersby" made in 1993, and perhaps "The Astronaut's Wife" made in 1999 starring Charlize Theron and Johnny Depp. The other reason for the negative rating is that I'm also a sucker for superficial endings.
