Why so much hype?
Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
The last movie by Alexandre Astruc,who was only to make MTV works afterward ,it has nothing to do with camera pen style,his former style,even to the smallest extent;it's an impersonal movie.The first part is rather dull,handicapped by a pointless female part (played by ex-James Bond girl Claudine Auger,who seems to think "I wish I could be somewhere else".In April 1941,Germany invaded Yugoslavia without a declaration of war;aboard a destroyer ,opinions differ:shall we surrender or shall we join the British fleet in Malta?Two young lieutenants would like to continue the war,but their superior is a coward and it's a capitulation ."You should salute your new flag" he is ironically told as he is leaving the ship.In this second part,the movie takes off,thanks to convincing Gerard Barray.Spoiler: the two lieutenants sacrifice their lives and serve as an example to their men : they will become resistant fighters.
