Trailer
Why watch this film?
Starring Omar Sy (Friends), Father and Soldier is a French-Senegalese war drama that was selected for the Cannes 2022 Un Certain Regard section. Sy, who is also a producer of the film, delivers an outstanding performance that is out of his comfort zone, while the plot, based on a little-told story from World War I, is an emotional portrait of the father-son relationship. The movie is an interesting proposition to examine French colonialism, and was a box office success in France.
