Strayed [Les Egares] (DVD review)

Strayed (2004) (In French, with English subtitles) In France, during the early years of World War II, the German army is advancing, and a column of refugees is fleeing south from Paris. A widow, traveling with her two children, leaves the road when German airplanes bomb and strafe them. She forms a shaky bond with a stranger who seems to know what he's doing, and they hole up in a French country house. The events that ensue are, disappointingly, only moderately interesting. Grade: C+
