A stark, haunting, lingering story of a young

A stark, haunting, lingering story of a young widow (Marianne Basler) caught in the merciless, gendered realities of WW II rural France. An exceptionally gallant, truly human British soldier (Gabriel Byrne) comes to love the widow. This is a war story that views troops through the all-too-honest consequence of guns, testosterone and basest forms of exploitation on women and girls, not only in World War II but today. If you can bear it, check this touching film.

This could've been much more interesting if handled

Gabriel Byrne in a bad movie....NOT!

The other comment is pretty harsh on this movie. I rather enjoyed it. It was intense, and Gabriel Byrne's performance, as always, was outstanding. Some of the war movies always seem to be so much alike. This one was so different and the ending is very unexpected.I'd see it again - in fact, I own the movie, and I'm very glad I do. Gabriel Byrne is so down to earth and SO believable. He is truly a joy to watch. Again, I stress the fact that this is not like an ordinary war movie -- it's GREAT, man!
