Title: Don't need to be a fan of the books...
Product review: Never even heard of the books - maybe that's a good thing: no expectations. It seems fitting that a French director did such a wonderful, spare, tight film about Louisiana. Nothing sentimental - just all the ingredients of a Civil War that has never really ended, tragically flawed history, and characters that you love & respect even while seeing huge flaws.
