About This Movie

"De big van het regiment" is a 1935 film that offers a poignant glimpse into the experiences of Belgian refugees during World War I. This Dutch production weaves together diary fragments to tell a story of resilience and connection amidst hardship.

This film has a somewhat elusive presence in collector circles, with limited prints available, mainly in archival collections. It’s not often discussed, but that's part of its charm; it draws in collectors who appreciate the nuanced storytelling from the era. The scarcity adds to its appeal, especially for those interested in war narratives and historical depictions. Its unique perspective on refugees provides a valuable context that can be hard to find in more mainstream films from the same period.
