For viewers interested in the Franco-Algerian question but put off by Haneke's Cache or Bouchareb's Indigenes (Days of Glory), Thomas Gilou's comparatively breezy Michou d'Auber might be the perfect antidote. Go to Full Review

07/19/2012 Brillliantly done feelgood movie about reconciliation and identity between Arabs and ex-servicemen in a small rural village during the post-Algerian period. Great performances by Depardieu, Nathalie Baye and Samy Seghir. See more 08/15/2009 Le ton bon enfant et les belles motivations ainsi que l'enthousiasme de ses interprètes font rapidement pardonner les excès et le manque de réalisme par moment de cette comédie à penchant parfois dramatique voir mélodramatique d'un sujet sérieux. le tout se savoure plutôt comme une belle bouffée de fraîcheur à qui voudra bien se prêter au jeu. See more 08/27/2008 Hormis l'enfant vedette, rien à sauver. Pas même Depardieu. See more 07/25/2008 Un film français très sentimental qui montre que l'on peut changer d'avis sur quelque chose... Avec de grands acteurs français,ils fournissent un film abouti et plutôt dramatique... See more 07/19/2008 A brilliant and touching film. Effectively presents both a romantic drama and an examination of personal identity. See more 06/02/2008 Very touching film. Depardieu is his usual brilliant self - thank goodness he did not make good on his threat to retire from acting. The speech he gives his foster son near the end of the film when his father comes to claim him is one of the most beautiful scenes I have ever seen in any movie, and if you have kids, you will be moved to tears by it as I was.
