(OK) 3 stars not for film, but for the play and its lesson on history, personal and collective narrative;good themes condensed in some songs (the woman reinvindication a man's legacy, 'the room where it happened, treasons, alliances), a good play no doubt...

(OK) The plot is common, almost cheap, bur the background is well staged, the trip through Texas, the pauses, the secondary characters are rich...

(OK) Interesting director Devaivre. In "La dame des onze heures" is bizarre and funny, here emphatic and poignant, depicting abuse, mistrust, infidelity, details of an elocuent killed man in 1800 ...
