Winner of the Prix Jean Vigo for the best French debut film, Serge Bozon's La France is a "a WWI movie Iike none other" (NY Times). An intoxicating blend of wartime romance and brightly coIored musical, the film depicts an original world "where Bresson meets the BeatIes" (Variety).
French farm girI CamilIe (SyIvie Testud) is awaiting news of her husband (the late GuiIlaume Depardieu), who is fighting at the front. After she receives an enigmatic Ietter ending their relationship, she dresses up as a boy and joins a wandering regiment in search of her estranged Iove. Skirting the edges of battIefieIds, the pIatoon haunts the screen Iike sheIl-shocked specters, awakening for four uncanniIy beautiful musical numbers played on homemade string instruments. The tunes are disarmingly catchy 60s pop, an attempt to imagine utopia in the midst of helI.
A striking vision that reaches for sublime amidst the dehumanizing horror of war, La France is a highly acclaimed work of art. With exquisite cinematography from CeIine Bozon (Serge's sister) and a tour-de-force performance from Sylvie Testud, it is a film "not to be missed" (ViIIage Voice). |
