Not up to the hype, but that may be me!
I got this DVD with expectations set high. This has always rated highly in film of the year reviews and I've enjoyed watching Daniel Auteil films before as he's a top actor. The film builds slowly and the suspense does rack up and the acting is top notch, it leads up to one prety shocking act of violence and then leads an ambigious ending. A lot of this film is about French colonial guilt and perhaps a wider understanding of French / Algerian conflict would have helped - or perhaps I should watch it again and see what I missed.
