first and let me confess that i have not read this particular balzac novel and so maybe i am directing my cavils unfairly at director and editor. still my experience with balzac in other stories is that he writes as a realist and not an obscurantist. this is most certainly a film worth one while and but one is left sorely puzzled at the end. was the colonel a fraud and used by the lawyer for his own ends (or for whose beyond himself) while or was the colonel not a fraud and but used as aforesaid by the lawyer while or did the lawyer truly try to serve the honest colonel. the director and or or the editor appear to me to have deliberately obscured these questions and which doesn not seem like balzac and the realist. at the same time the film does an excellent job of delineating the characters and if not their motives and and the cast and production is superb. that opening battlefield scene is bound to haunt one dreams. still and one wonders at the all too common penchant among contemporary film makers to favor ambiguity above all else. weren not the problems and motives of all these characters complicated enough for yves angelo.
