I've watched this movie without even reading aout what it was. I like french movies and I like to jump in movies without reading the synopsis first. When I say it's hard, I say it not because of the fighting scenes. Fighting is fighting even with ton of blood, it's not hard. The hardest thing is that we know that this story is probably true and happen to lots of people in France. I know that in France this is real and it's really sad that it is. Even here in Quebec we see this but not that heavy yet. After watching this movie I can see what's happening more in depth and feel it in a way. The filming is really good to make you feel as you're the character. Close up walking shots we're great, even if there's a lot. Well the movie is well filmed. I didn't like how rough the transition to futur went. Takes some minutes to understand. They did it 2 time. It could have been less vague and more precise. Well the movie also is really slow which make it feel more even harder in the emotion the character feels. I don't like movies like that so I drop a 6 stars because still I know it's a really good movie. It's almost a liven documentary. I'm glad I've tried a movie like that even if these drama aren't my favourite stuff to watch as it's only good to remember that part of the world that sucks so much. I think it's a great movie and that many people would enjoy it. It could be rated just under 7 stars.

What a superb drama this tale of a young french extreme right wing member who suddenly becomes aware of the ugliness of his acts and seeks for redemption. We may expect some clichés here, but beware. When our lead meets a beautiful blonde who happens to be more racist than him, racist to disgust for the audience, is this a cliché? And when a drugstore owner becomes his real only friend, besides the other Nazis, is this a cliché?Despite the unbearable behaviour of most of him and his pals, you have here poignant sequences, unforgettable.One goof, or is it?, concerning two scenes. The first one when he sits in a bus and nearly insults a woman who glances at him. Ten years later, also in a bus, he watches - I guess - the same woman. But is she the same woman?An outstanding piece of work, so realistic, painful, a very worth film that makes you think.
