both an entertaining and a sincere movie . jules sitruk definitely do a very good job in here . the story have indeed some emotional involvement and be above the average . i like the way gerard jugnot and jules interact with each other . sometimes it be a bit oversubscribed and unrealistic i be thinking of the gorgeous sequence with the german soldier who have his knee dislocate but nonetheless it do not minimize the movie natural charm . the historical background add a significant amount of authenticity to the whole plot and grant the movie additional quality . solid acting and entertaining experience . recommend .
