About
A feature screening of the drama Coward, set in the trenches of the First World War, where conscript Pierre would rather be anywhere but the army. Writer-director Lukas Dhont, after Close, follows him into the Belgian forces, where unquestionable discipline reigns but art survives in Francis, who directs vaudeville plays to lift soldiers' morale. Blurring boundaries between restriction and freedom, the film affirms that our concept of masculinity is frail, even when ossified. Emmanuel Macchia plays Pierre and Valentin Campagne plays Francis.
