Maybe not as powerful as DIEN BIEN PHU or LA 317éme SECTION, this war in Indochina war movie is more than welcome, in 2023, to remind to young audiences what that fierce conflict was about. I know, you already had Guillaume Nicloux' CONFINS DU MONDE, in 2018, again speaking of the Indochina war. The director here made in 2015: LOIN DES HOMMES, this time about war in Algeria.

We also may feel the influence, inspiration of AGUIRRE...
