What a dark and depressing film this is. At the same time, it is visually beautiful. The moral depravity of virtually all inhabitants of the village is unsettling, and the fellow who comes back to convalesce there after a bout with tuberculosis gets a chance to view the scene anew, and with some degree of disgust.
The cinematography is excellent, so if you are into visuals, by all means watch Le beau Serge..
