Die Wiederkehr des Martin Guerre: Directed by Daniel Vigne. With Gérard Depardieu, Nathalie Baye, Maurice Barrier, Bernard-Pierre Donnadieu. In medieval France, some villagers challenge a man’s claim of identity when he (as he says) returns home from some time in the army.
“One of my favorite movies, even if the ending is a heartbreaker. Every Depardieu fan should have a copy – in French, not dubbed. You canu0026#39;t help but like the returning Martin, as played by Depardieu. His talent at facial expression is wonderful. The courtroom scene is his best – check out the look he gives the wife as she steps forward to select the correct Martin.”
