Work of Art

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2012)

A classic by Renoir. It's about French POWs in WWI Germany and how they work together to escape from a fortress-prison. It's a movie about comradery, society, and cultures of France, respect amongst officers (no matter which side one fights for), the complexities of what it means to be human, and how they work together and how they think about one another (no matter the sex, social status, religion, or language one speaks).
A beautiful, perfect movie in every way. An absolute MUST SEE for the cinephile!
