A Soldier's Tale
Film (Excerpts) – 1988
A Soldier's Tale is a storyteller's film, where narrative and characterisation take precedence over pretensions and special effects. Best of all is Alun Bollinger's cinematography. It captures the splendour of the French countryside and jarringly juxtaposes it with the grim life-and-death scenarios being played out within it.– Reviewer Phil Wakefield , The Evening Post, 19 February 1991
