yvetot-bocage-45worlds 19th Jul 2016 |  | CinemaLa 317ème Section (The 317th Platoon) (1965) (1965) | Rated 9/10Perhaps the best war film i have ever seen and certainly the best film about the war in Indochine.
There is no bloody message or hysterics in here, only a down-to-earth and vivid approach from the progress of a column of local section suppletive Laotian soldiers, French officer and non-commissioned officers through the jungle surrounded and confronted with Vietmin forces.

yvetot-bocage-45worlds 19th Jul 2016 |  | CinemaPaths Of Glory (1957) (1957) | Rated 1/10Along with "Full Metal Jacket", this is a real stinker in the Kubrick's filmography.
American actors in English language impersonating WW1 French officers is utterly grotesque not least because they do not look or act like any French from any period but the aim of the film is so stupid and preposterous that it is just a pallid anti-war rant bollocks, nothing more.

yvetot-bocage-45worlds 19th Jul 2016 |  | CinemaBlow-Up (1966) (1966) | Rated 10/10In my opinion, the one and only potent film about the so-called "Swingin' London" but it plays on so many levels that it goes way beyond that simple tag.
London has never been more fascinating than filmed by Antonioni, and Hemmings and Redgrave are at their peak.
