If you loved R. A. S, from the same director Yves Boisset, you'll also love this one, made eight years later, and proposing the same kind of "talk" against Army, the same DNA as in R. A. S. Yves Boisset's trademark, concerning pacifism, where Lucas Belvaux replaces here Jacques Weber - R. A. S - love it or skip it. I definitely love it. Lucas Belvaux is extraordinary, though I have never liked his way of speaking, even later in his filmography, he talks as if he reads a poem. Cast over the top, very well chosen by Boisset, for whom this film is his all time favorite. Unfairly underrated, this is a tremendous French film, which only Yves Boisset could direct in those early eighties days. Even now, it would be very daring.
