*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
It's difficult to guess the target audience the producers were aiming for here. The only 'marquee' name is Michel Serrault and though his CV is as impressive as any he is way up in the paint cards and it's asking a lot to expect him to carry a film as offbeat as this. It's May, 1940 and the Germans are coming. In Etienne's (Serrault) small village in rural France everyone has left leaving just him and a granddaughter Camille and grandson. Then a small - some six or seven -troop of Senagalese soldiers turn up more or less just in time to prevent Camille getting a bad dose of cabin fever. Not a lot happens; she plays the victrola, dances with one of the soldiers and that's about it. Then the Germans finally ARRIVE and blow the village off the map with their panzers. Camille and her brother take to the river leaving the others to do the best they can. There's a certain amount of charm/nostalgia on display here but it's going to have to work hard to find its audience.
