war drama
18 February 2013
Many films have been inspired from the World War II. This one adds a romantic note to the whole struggle of the war. Beautiful structured, follows the life of the main character, Charlotte Gray, who participates on the resistance in France. Amazing landscapes, form a nice atmosphere, in addition to the great costumes. On the other hand, the performances are perfect, picturing nicely the human drama and the effort to deal with difficult situations that the war create. The director controls the drama and the thriller so that they are not too much for the audience to be bored. The only thing that works against the whole movie is the fact that they are using English as the main language, even on letters, which seems odd as the main plot takes place in France. All in all, a great historical film.
