Captain Conan
Directed by Bertrand Tavernier
Produced by Les Films Alain Sarde, Little Bear
A gritty, melancholic portrait of hardened soldiers adrift in the final throes of war, unable to reconcile themselves with the prospect of peace.
The last days of World War I, Eastern front. Captain Conan, a lone wolf, a true warrior, leads a band of ruthless French fighters who love hand-to-hand combat; they are not fit for peacetime, they only feel really alive in the chaos of the battlefield.
