I was invited to the showing and the

I was invited to the showing and the following Q&A session with the director, daughter of a friend. I did not know what to expect, except legionairs and afghanistan. The film was enjoyable, oddly so. Interesting insight to the life and code of legionairs and the life of illegal immigrants in France. According to the legionairs' code it is a worse crime to leave behind your weapon than your dying brother in arms. who knew. What I did know was that French audience is picky and they are not afraid to make their opinions known to the director or anyone else for that matter. And they love their voice and make a point of saying something, even if there is no point in what they say. We left after an hour into the Q&A, as it was 11pm...

A beautiful film

I just had the good fortune to see this film at TIFF and must say what a pleasure it was to attend the screening. A very moving human drama, beautifully shot and directed.And great to see another terrific performance from Jeremie Renier, who is one of France's most accomplished actors.He seems to inhabit every role he takes on. The other two leads, Surho Sugaipov and Ramzan Idiev were exceptional as well.From the start, you are drawn into the world of these characters in the Foreign Legion, and as the story progresses, you can't help but feel involved in their lives. And that is the skill of the director,to bring the audience into intimacy with these three and the matters of their hearts . A great success and I truly look forward to more work from this director!!!

A great man maybe but a small movie

This a very slow and poor movie, dealing with post-war trauma recovery, friendship and the difficulty to be a real, great man in complex situation. Not bad, could have been interesting but simply dul.
