Based on a true story, this acclaimed French period drama stars Gérard Depardieu as a stranger in his own land, a man accused of being an impostor after returning home from eight years at war. A timeless tale remade in the U.S as Sommersby, starring Richard Gere and Jodie Foster, this French film classic is a meticulous re-creation of rural life in medieval France, while Depardieu's superbly understated performance, delivered at the peak of his career, counterpoints a harsh Middle Ages world governed by cruelty and superstition - Nathalie Baye (Catch Me If You Can,) also stars as Guerre's scorned but ever-faithful wife, rewarded when her husband makes his unexpected return.

Contrasting stunning location cinematography in south western France with a gritty, realistic portrayal of an unforgiving 16th century world (it earned an Oscar-Nomination for best costume design), The Return of Martin Guerre is landmark French cinema.
