Sortez des rangs

Yes, Yves Boisset could have made this film, not far from his own LE PANTALON, the story of a first world war, trench war soldier, shot because he refused to wear a pair of pants. Here, it is not far, as you have already read in the other comment. This is definitely an anti war, pacifist movie, like PATHS OF GLORY or even JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN. We also can think about ALLONS ENFANTS, still directed by Yves Boisset in the early eighties, an era where only him dared to make such movies. Movies against stupidity, the State, Government idiocy and hypocrisy. This little feature I am talking here was not well known but available now in France. Do not hesitate to get it. It deserves it. Largely.
