Title: Women at War
Review: Wonderfully conceived and executed story of four complex and flawed, but extraordinarily courageous woman in France, in 1914, at the start of WWI. The weaving of the four stories and the ultimate linkage between the characters is exceedingly well done, and dramatically set gains the back drop of invasion and chaos, standing out all the more for their astonishing achievements. Fleurot (The French Villages) stands out in her role as tortured prostitute/conflicted mother- and de Bona is a find as the mother superior torn between God, love and war. A one shot miniseries unlikely to return, well worth the watch.
