Pretentious war drama that wants to impress with depth but of which I ultimately understood little to nothing, especially the ending. The setting is Indochina in 1945, where the French do everything they can to not lose their colony. A somewhat vague film about Robert Tassen who wants to take revenge on a Japanese officer who murdered his brother and sister-in-law. In between routines and boredom, he falls in love with a local prostitute. The film loses focus and clings to the main character who has to make a choice between surrendering to his feelings of revenge, or choosing life and staying with that girl ... Don't expect war violence; it is not a "French Platoon"; instead, there are sometimes very gory close-ups of corpses but that is also terribly clumsy to show how inhuman war is. A positive point here is the beautiful photography, shot in Vietnam and with sometimes unreal use of color ... I found it all in all a somewhat boring and vague film that did not convince me, neither in terms of story nor in terms of acting. With also a role for daddy Depardieu.
