AN ACCIDENTAL SOLDIER (Movie)

In this award-nominated WWI drama, a shy 35-year-old Australian soldier (Dan Spielman, The Hunter) flees the carnage of the Western Front and finds refuge with a French woman (Marie Bunel, The Chorus) in a remote farmhouse. This Australian film -- based on the novel Silent Parts by John Charalambous-- is a tender, gripping love story between two people who find passion, in all its joy and hurt, at an age when they thought love has passed them by. (90 min., 2013)
