Captain Conan
Capitaine Conan
After the 1918 armistice, a French commando captain and his men are sent from the Balkan front to Bucharest. Soldiers shaped for close combat confront occupation duty, military justice, and their inability to return cleanly to civilian life.
Why it’s here
Tavernier uses postwar Bucharest and the Romanian campaign to examine how an occupying army and its combat specialists fail to return cleanly to peace.
