La Guerre Est Finie is a drama above political prejudices. It is a powerful study of a man's commitment to a consuming and bewildering belief.

Bosley Crowther, New York Times

He unexpectedly gives us not only psychology but an exciting thriller, done with great artistry.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh

A landmark film by Alain Resnai.
