A happy loving family lives peacefully through the war in provincial France until.... the irruption of a retreating SS division which brutally puts an end to the very idea of love, happiness and humanity.
The man (exceptional Philippe Noiret) witnesses the execution of his young daughter and the burning of his beloved wife (always remembered Romy Schneider). He opts for revenge and will, in cold blood send one by one to hell the animals who blindly murdered his life.
No pardon, no abandonment, only revenge and perhaps Justice. He does not have anything to loose... a theme already explored in Truffaut's "La marié était en noir" (the bride wore black).
"Le vieux fusil" is also a crude reminder of the consequences of war over civilian populations. This movie is, still today, a petrifying experience for those who know History.
In France it is almost a classic (good camera work and fantastic cast). I am surprised it did not find more viewers outside Europe, may be not "heroic" enough...
