Far From Men (out Jul 30) can be described as slow or patient (depending on your mood). Set in 1954 on the eve of the Algerian War, the film follows a withdrawn school teacher who is asked to transport a local man on trial for murder. A grim character study about difficult choices we sometimes must make. Grade: B.
