What can best summarize the characteristics of his film is the ubiquitous French romance, even if it is filming this kind of movie with the background of World War I, like the beginning of the film, a close-up of the gas lamp in the rain is given, which makes the lamp muddy behind. The battlefield is more prominent.
I don't think there is any special praise for the plot of this movie. It is better to read Sebastian's original book. However, the film’s photography skills alone can be regarded as the finest in French films.
