CGiii Comment

Yes, we know, all men are bastards...

Well, according to this...the women aren't much better.

Kurys takes too many leaps of faith with the source material...the result is an uneven, one-sided account of marriage.

As the husband says: what a waste.

The(ir) Blurb...

In 1942 in occupied France, a Jewish refugee marries a soldier to escape deportation to Germany. Meanwhile a wealthy art student loses her first husband to a stray Resistance bullet; at the Liberation she meets an actor, gets pregnant, and marries him. Lena and Madeleine meet at their children's school in Lyon in 1952 and the intensity of their relationship strains both their marriages to the breaking point.
