Set in modern day with flash backs to the second world world. Mostly English spoken with French, subtitles in English, presents the story of a 92 and a quarter year old Artie looking to attend the celebration of D-day in France.
Our hero, played by Pierce Brosnan, escapes a regiment of pills in a care facility to mission from Dublin to Normandy.
He has to overcome failing health, bureaucracy, and his prejudice to accomplish his mission. The whispers of the horrors of loss in a war taint his memory, however, his determination to represent his regiment stand firm.
At the time of writing this the world is plunged into skirmishes in both Ukraine and Israel; but this is a reminder of a war with a clear clash of ideology and not the rhetoric of today.
Highly recommend.
