Title: 1869 French-Prussian War bore!
Review: In FIELD OF HONOR you might gain a little insight into the French-Prussian War and the lottery-draft selection that France had in place in 1869,but little else can be gained from watching this dreadfully acted and tedious 1988 film directed by Jean-Pierre Denis.It is very much an 1980's French arthouse film chock full of symbolism framed by a truly bizarre soundtrack that seems to be characteristic of this genre.The story is extremely static and the characters fit the bill.It IS beautifully filmed, though, and for that I can at least give it two stars,but not a farthing more!THE RETURE OF MARTIN GUERRE IS FAR SUPERIOR FILM.
