Resnais uses flash-forwards and stream-of-consciousness associative editing that can become quite confusing. But unlike some of his earlier successes that seemed to exist on a mental plane outside of time, <em>Guerre<\/em> is for the most part quite linear.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Group.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Group.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"921\" height=\"574\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-96340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Group.png 921w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Group-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Group-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Group-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Group-433x270.png 433w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Yes &#8212; refreshingly so! Having fairly recently watched Resnais&#8217; first three films, this one is remarkably easy to follow and relate to &#8212; a good thing, given the intense subject matter. We are watching a man who has literally given his life to a cause yet must still live on edge (he could be detained at any moment), is unable to settle down without feeling a sense of resignation, and has to track numerous running threads of false personal narratives at any given point. <\/p>\n<p>On the aftermath of revisiting <a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=96285\"><em>The Battle of Algiers<\/em><\/a>, seeing what the long-game might look like for someone this committed to revolution was especially poignant; as DVD Savant writes, &#8220;Montand, playing a Spaniard who passes for French, is a soulful soldier whose war was lost long before he began to fight. The tension of being an outlaw to the state shows on his tired face.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand-Face.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand-Face.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"921\" height=\"574\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-96334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand-Face.png 921w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand-Face-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand-Face-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand-Face-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand-Face-433x270.png 433w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Film fanatics will likely enjoying seeing an impossibly young, faux-cherubic Genevi\u00e8ve Bujold in her very first cinematic role: <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Bujold3.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Bujold3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"921\" height=\"574\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-96341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Bujold3.png 921w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Bujold3-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Bujold3-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Bujold3-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-Bujold3-433x270.png 433w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8230; and Ingrid Bergman-favorite Ingrid Thulin in a non-Scandinavian film. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Thulin.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Thulin.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"921\" height=\"574\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-96336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Thulin.png 921w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Thulin-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Thulin-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Thulin-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Thulin-433x270.png 433w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Notable Performances, Qualities, and Moments:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yves Montand as &#8220;Diego Mora&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"921\" height=\"574\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-96331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand.png 921w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Montand-433x270.png 433w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Sacha Vierny&#8217;s cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Outdoors.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Outdoors.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"921\" height=\"574\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-96332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Outdoors.png 921w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Outdoors-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Outdoors-128x80.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Outdoors-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Guerre-est-finie-Outdoors-433x270.png 433w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, but it&#8217;s worth a look.
