Ce qu'ils partagent
Theyboth carry the foreign gem mood tag, and they sit in Drama / History / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to La Promesse de l'aube, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Captain : L'usurpateur is
You're a Wehrmacht deserter in the Third Reich's final days. You find an abandoned Nazi officer's uniform and try it on, but people begin mistaking you for a captain. Schwentke finds the humor in wartime atrocities. The film lingers on the banality of power.
