Sommersby (1993)
Nel 1867, due anni dopo la fine della guerra civile, torna a Vine Hill (Tennessee) un reduce dell'esercito sudista nel quale tutti, compresa la moglie, riconoscono Jack Sommersby, proprietario terriero. Sembra molto cambiato: fa rifiorire la situazione economica della comunità, è diventato gentile con i neri, ama la moglie. Mentre lo si sospetta di essere un impostore, salta fuori un omicidio commesso anni prima. Processo: se è lui, è colpevole; se è un impostore, è innocente. Ispirato a un celebre caso avvenuto in Francia nel 1561, diretto dall'inglese J. Amiel che l'ha trasferito di luogo e di epoca, fotografato con competenza da Philippe Rousselot, è un dramma agreste-giudiziario di ineccepibile qualità media, perfettamente allineato agli stereotipi hollywoodiani e, pur nella sua complessa tematica di fondo, è anche una patinata love story. Remake del film francese Il ritorno di Martin Guerre (1981).
