QuickView
Story-line: years after leaving his 16th century French village as a laughingstock, Martin Guerre returns to win everyone’s respect.
Pluses: an otherworldly setting, great acting and a fascinating story based on true events.
Minuses: none whatsoever.
Comments: a rare depiction of life in the Middle Ages with its superstitions and backward mores but, most of all, an unforgettable film that packs a real wallop. A treat for all movie buffs.
