Memoir of War is an ambitious adaptation of Marguerite Duras’s challenging WWII semi-autobiography, War: a Memoir. When she finds two old notebooks in a forgotten box, Marguerite Duras (Mélanie Thierry) remembers her past in the French Resistance and the unbearable pain of waiting for the return of her deported husband Robert Antelme.
