THE DEATH OF THE YOUNG ENGLISH AVIATOR

La mort du jeune aviateur anglais

Directed by Benoît Jacquot, Yann Andréa
France, 1993
Documentary, Short

Synopsis

In 1944, a young Englishman crashed his plane into a bank of trees in Trouville, a small town near Deauville. This is not a film about that soldier, but about the importance this story holds for Marguerite Duras, and the fields of memory and the sense of loss it evokes.
