Christian Carion Quotations

The events inspired characters that truly existed, as well as fictitious people I had to invent. Sometimes the harsh reality was too much, too absurd. This was the case with the story of the cat who roamed from one trench to another and in the film ended up being imprisoned. In reality, the tom cat was accused of spying and was arrested by the French army, and then shot according to regulations.

We are going to Hollywood because of the Oscars, and I can't believe it. I'm very proud to be representing French cinema.

The British army accepted that. I respect that and told them: 'Congratulations, I'm proud these soldiers far away from home will see it.'
