La France Series: New Directors/New Films [March 26 - April 6, 2008] Director: Serge Bozon, Country: France, Release: 2007, Runtime: 102 It’s the fall of 1917 and war is raging across Europe. Far from the conflict, Camille spends her time awaiting news of her husband, who is at the front. One day she receives a note from him ending their relationship. Distraught, she disguises herself as a man and goes to the front to find him. On the way, she encounters a small band of soldiers as they trudge through a war-torn countryside that is a no man’s land in more ways than one. Traveling in the shadows of the war, these soldiers add to the surreal quality of their trek by breaking into song and playing homemade folk instruments. Only as the men discover Camille’s true identity does Camille realize the soldiers have secrets of their own. Director Serge Bozon, who won the Prix Jean Vigo for this film, has fashioned a truly original war film that has aspects of an eerie fairytale. With Sylvie Testud as Camille and Pascal Greggory as the leader of the rag tag regiment.
