I saw this movie with English Subtitles at a Portland Oregon film Festival in the spring of 1995.  I will always remember this film.  I have searched for a Video or DVD with English subtitles, to no avail.  This movie was stunning.  The human reality of war and of people in war.  The tragedy, the love, the horror, the innocence. I walked out of that theater in a stunned daze.  This is a personal review not a synopsis.   If anyone reads this and has a copy with English subtitles please contact me.  1-877-985-3273.  I still think of this movie from time to time, and it was 14 years ago I saw it.  Charles Matton created a pearl with this movie.
