War and its impact reduced to the small scale, the homefront, the subjective viewpoint. Andre Delvaux's surrealist predilections are not altogether absent, but are stilled somewhat in this tidy, precise, straight-ahead narrative about a Belgian housewife's long hard road to personal independence. A nice alternative to the sprawling and stumbling Soldier of Orange, which came from the Netherlands, just next door. Luminous, almost magical sense of objects and places and the emotional values attached thereto. With Marie-Christine Barrault, Rutger Hauer, and Roger Van Hool. (1979) — Duncan Shepherd
