Part
of this film takes place in a rural village in Belgium. Barbe loves Andre but she dislikes the
fact that he does not express his emotions. Andre is a rough farmhand, he doesn’t talk very much and he
doesn’t like to share his feelings.
Because she feels so detached from Andre, she vents her anger by
hooking up with other men. Several
of the men from the village are saying goodbye to friends and family before
going into the Army because of the draft.
Andre sees Barbe saying goodbye to Blondel at the same time she’s saying
goodbye to him? The men are sent
to an unnamed Middle Eastern nation where the grim war wears away their
humanity.
Everything
about this movie seems empty plus it is bland and rough. I’m surprised I was able to see it
through to the end but only because I was reading a book at the same time. I don’t think there is any redeeming
value in this film? 2* (I didn’t
like this movie)
