  • ""Set near the end of the bloody Indo-Chinese War in which the Vietnamese struggled to shuck off the yoke of French colonialism, this taut, provocative French war drama chronicles the events leading up to the slaughter of the French army's 317th Platoon, a unit comprised of 41 Laotians and a quartet of French officers that was ordered to make it back to the safety of camp Dien Bien Phu. It is an arduous journey and the soldiers must not only battle constant ambushes, but also the jungle itself. Many soldiers die along the way. When they finally make it to the camp, they find the enemy waiting. Not one member of the platoon survives the ensuing slaughter."--Sandra Brennan, Rovi as seen on http://movies.nytimes.com."
  • "Extrait du résumé figurant sur la jaquette :Le 3 mai 1954,en Indochine,une patrouille française cantonnée dans le nord du Laos reçoit l'ordre de rejoindre Dien Bien Phu assiégé par le Viet-Minh..."
  • "Story a French/Laotian platoon during May 1954 (two months before the armistice) as they withdraw thru the jungle after the fall of Dien Bien Phu. They are slowly annihilated by ambushes and disease. The film captures the inarticulate anguish and solitude of each man by focusing on a veteran Alsatian sergeant (who fought in the German army in World War 2) and a young French officer fresh from military school. Their impersonal, hierarchical and sometimes hostile relationship develops into an unlikely friendship. Both the director Shoendoerffer and the photographer Coutard were veterans of the Indochina war."
