Plot
In 1911, a willful and determined young officer, Charles Saganne, is sent to the Sahara to defend the French colonial empire.
Sinekatalog’s take
Alain Corneau's epic, with Gérard Depardieu, Catherine Deneuve and Philippe Noiret, is lavish, old-fashioned and handsome, a colonial adventure.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
