    FAITHFUL/DE NOS FRÈRES BLESSÉS (Hélier Cisterne 2020): French theatrical release.

    This drama about a pied-noir patriot guillotineed by French colonial authorities for treason starring Vincent Lacoste and Vicky Krieps came out in French theaters today, Wed. March 23, 2022.

    Very mediocre reviews; AlloCiné press rating 3.1 = 62%. The Cahiers du Cinéma critic writes: "Hélier Cisterne proves incapable of arousing any feelings other than tearful pity. The systematic alternation between the present of the judgement and the past of a carefree and amorous life condemns the staging to predictable oppositions: darkness versus light, swollen flesh versus eroticism."
