Genre: Foreign / Drama
aka: The Soldiers
Director: Jean-Luc Godard
Cast: Marino Mase, Albert Juross, Catherine Ribeiro, Genevieve Galea, Gerard Poirot, Jean Brassat, Alvaro Gheri, Barbet Schroeder, Catherine Durante, Jean Gruault
Director Jean-Luc Godard goes to great lengths to portray the inhumanity and ugliness of war as we follow two soldiers (Marino Mase and Albert Juross) signing up and going to war for the king. Their letters home talk of their exploits, and the pictures they bring home show their conquests–including the Grand Canyon, Empire State Building, Eiffel Tower, and the Pyramids. Unusual, and shot as if it were an old newsreel.
