Serge Bozon's quietly disturbing fable takes place in northern France in the middle of Word War I.
09/05/08
The players, Sylvie Testude's Camille plus the eleven French soldiers, are not given much chance to develop their characters beyond two-dimensional.
07/16/08
Gender and genre are continuously bent in La France, Serge Bozon's uniquely weird and often starkly beautiful experiment.
07/11/08
Simultaneously avant garde and down to earth, the somber film is anchored by spontaneous musical eruptions on its more elusive end and by Sylvie Testud’s tactile performance.
07/11/08
In the once-upon-a-time fairy tale called La France, French soldiers move through darkly verdant landscapes worthy of Henri Rousseau.

Top CriticWithout ever surrendering its deadpan naturalism, La France becomes increasingly poetic: The seasons change, the landscape grows barren, and the stars in the sky take their names from the dead men below.
07/10/08
Top Critic[A] stunningly confident, category-defying, broken-down dream piece about loss and being lost...irresistible.
07/09/08
A drama about the horrors, loneliness and camaraderie of World War I that intermittently (four times, to be specific) blooms into a delirious musical.
07/09/08
It has the odd but potent effect of revealing an ethereal aspect of the war experience that in its bleakness stirs the mind with far more elusive questions than answers. A tantalizing, visually lyrical elixir for those enamored of mystifying brain teasers
