Where is this river?

Rating: 3/10 (20 January 2020)

Camera work great, story so so, but what annoys me are the impropabilities:

where in the Somme region is this fast flowing river???
the story sets of in april, why are the woods not barren of leaves?
is there really a pristine landscape just a few miles from the front?

In everything I've read about the great war (and I've read a lot) the constant shelling comes up, even in quiet sectors and on relatively quiet days. In this movie there is silence all around, except when the men go over the top...
All in all: too many impropabilities to communicate a real feeling for the great war. Not individual/small platoon actions (which Spielberg did infinitely better in Saving Private Ryan) but massed attacks where characteristic of this war.
