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.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for history buffs. If you loved War Horse or The Guns of Navarone, start here.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 21 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1972: an older pace and style.

Set just before the end of WWI on the abandoned farm in Vojvodina, the story follows the wife of an Austo-Hungarian colonel of a battered battalion who pays him a visit, only to experience the true Empire's decline through the meeting with disillusioned army.
