What to expect
Eric Barbier directs this French drama about an illiterate farmer drafted into the First World War who has no idea why he is fighting. The story moves from the trenches to a prisoner camp and a mutiny, but the movie keeps its focus on the man’s confusion rather than on battle spectacle. At 110 minutes it is a slow, character‑driven watch, not an action picture. Alban Ivanov and Alexandra Lamy lead the cast. The Hong Kong release is 10 October 2026. English subtitles are provided; the certificate has not yet been announced, so check with the cinema if you are planning to bring younger viewers.
