This is a very good movie, but the Amazon version of it is terrible. Do not rent it from Amazon.
There are long conversations held in german, and a few in french. But there are no subtitles provided for this, so the movie just kind of stops there. The plot developments provided by the conversations -- what are they saying to the mayor, where are the troops headed off to, how do the german officers interrelate -- are all unknown. Terrible.
Then, when the epilog material is to be provided, conveying interesting stories about the author and the manuscript, we see more than thirty seconds of just black screen, followed by a picture of a woman with no explanation as to who she is or why we should know her.
Just a terrible recording, go rent this somewhere else.
