Jean-Jacques Annaud's timeless satire on war, colonialism and racism still holds up after three decades. In this hilarious comedy set during WWI, the French colonials in the Ivory Coast discover that their country is in war with Germans, therefore they plan to attack their German neighbors by forcing the locals to fight for them. The film was relevant when it came out at the end of the Vietnam war and still is because history teach us nothing if not for past mistakes. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
