Review of Strayed (2003) by Annika A — 10 Dec 2007
Strayed was as a tragedy very cleverly written in how the psychology of the characters was explored and expressed through their subtle actions. the effect of the war on each individual was not forced upon us - more, we were gently informed.
as a result, for much of this film we were free to formulate our own personal views about the effect of the war on them and the permanent changes in their characters as a result, but apart from that the war was very.
.. absent in this film. Going into hiding in the house meant that we were removed from the direct impact of France's invasion and this deprived Strayed of a necessary dramatic element. therefore the movie drifted without much direction.
The plight of Yvan was fantastically expressed in all its irony, but I felt this movie did not say as much as it could have.
