Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who loves a strong drama. If you loved Inglourious Basterds, start here.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1959: an older pace and style.

During the German occupation, Jeanne Moncatel, pretty but complexed, has to put up with her mother, a cantankerous old woman who keeps telling her she's ugly, which she also believes. She takes in Pierre Ségur, who was fleeing the Germans and had his eyes burned out. His life is turned upside down.
