Join us for a screening of The Return of Martin Guerre (1982, dir. Daniel Vigne), with an introduction by Professor Palmer and Professor Soper. During the middle of the sixteenth century, Martin Guerre returns to his village in southwestern France, after being away in the war for almost a decade. The villagers who knew him as a young man suspect he is not Martin, but he seems to know all about his friends, his family and his wife, even the most unusual things. Is this man really Martin Guerre?
