They were just men. ' . We've left everything behind -- our deaths, our memories, our cemeteries. Chaos, hatred, brutal attacks, shouting, footprints, mad members of the SVO, wandering and looking for Europeans who just wanted to leave.
Massacre, mass graves. The French-Algerians were lynched and missing. Nobody wanted to know anything!!
The film "Men" Des hommes about the French-Algerian war, which lasted for 7 years, which was little told, because returning to their home in France, these guys who were at war, preferred to remain silent.
Since the time of the Greeks, every generation has had its own war. It is in the karma of Mankind, in the fate of men to wage war, to kill or be killed, to go to the front with the risk of not returning.
This film is about the damage caused not by the war itself, but by its lifelong consequences for its direct participants.
The condition of men during the war and after. The whole tragedy of ordinary guys who get into the binds of war. The film is based on the novel “Men” by Laurent Mauvignier.
The film is a masterpiece! There are no generally accepted scenes of war, battles, but just a leisurely, mundane narrative, starting from the birthday in an ordinary French town in our time.
The roles are brilliant Gerard Depardieu, Catherine Fro, Jean-Pierre Darrussen.
