Le colonel Chabert (1994)

English title: Colonel Chabert.

Based on the novel by Honoré de Balzac (1st ed. 1844).

A man given as dead on the war returns to claim a share of his possessions. His wife remarried to an ambitious man.

A tale of ambition and the fragility of human bonds. The cinematography is gorgeous. It is well directed too.

Rating: 52
