Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for anyone interested in what war does to people and people who love a true story told well. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Shelve it next to Night and Fog or Shoah. Paris does a lot of the work, and it looks wonderful.
- The mood
- Intense, eye-opening.
- The pace
- Moves through the story clearly, at 53 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
The story of the Spanish Republicans of La Nueve, the 9th Company of the Régiment de marche du Tchad, part of the French 2nd Armored Division, known as Leclerc Division, whose troops were the first who entered Nazi-occupied Paris on August 24, 1944.
