Notes et avis

There's a lot more going on than meets the eye in this atmospheric period piece. Farrell is good; Kidman is better. A steamy and close affair, worth savouring.

The Clint Eastwood version is much better , this was dull, Colin Farell wouldn't have been my choice to play the wounded soldier, not a great actor is he.

Why remake this? The original is an absolute masterpiece! Weird choice!
