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
A natural pick for anyone interested in what war does to people and history buffs. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. If you loved The Longest Day or The Guns of Navarone, start here.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 29 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

The title of the film, set in Luxembourg in 1942, during the Nazi occupation, amalgamates the words Schacko (helmet) and chapeau claque (opera hat). The village, in which it is set, has not yet been feeling the effects of the war at this point.
