Sinekatalog’s take

Bertrand Tavernier's postwar drama follows an officer in 1920 charged with identifying France's unknown dead, and two women searching for lost men. Philippe Noiret and Sabine Azéma are superb in a moving, humane work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
