Plot Summary
Based on a true stroy, this acclaimed French period drama stars Gerrard Depardieu as a stranger in his own land, a man accused of being an imposter after returning hom from eight years at war. A timeless tale remade in the U.S as Sommersby, starring Richard Gere and Jodie Foster, this French film classic is a meticulous re-creation of rural life in medieval France, while Depardiu's superbly understated performance, delivered at the peak of his career, counterpoints a harsh Middle Ages world governed by cruelty and superstition - Nathalie Baye also stars as Guerre's scorned but ever-faithful wife, rewarded when her husband makes his unexpected return.
