memorable

Rating: Null/10 (20 March 2014)

a touching story. and a powerful warning. precise portrait of a group. and image of a war. one of contemporary films who, in each society, in each period, remains a reflection of present. the secret - Jean Renoir delicacy in create a credible manifesto, the splendid cast - Erich von Stroheim, Dita Parlo or Jean Gabin in admirable roles - and brilliant acting, the wise use of silences and the filming angle. and, sure, the story. it is more than artistic work. or great legend. it remains memorable for the generous honesty. for the symbols - the pelargonium -, for the map of feelings, for the inspired manner to remember basic pieces who defines existence. it is not exactly a lesson. only a memorable meeting. with a masterpiece, of course. but, more important, with yourself.
