Released in France as La Kermesse Heroique, Carnival in Flanders is set during the long-ago war between the Dutch and Spanish. A tiny village in Flanders is invaded by Spanish troops. The townsfolk have heard of Spanish cruelties in other towns, and decide to deflect the vanquishers by playing dead. This isn't terribly effective (you have to take a breath once in a while), so the wife of the burgomaster tries to soften up the invaders with a lavish carnival. So successful is this venture that the Spaniards allow the village to escape being decimated, or even taxed. An award-winner many times over, Carnival in Flanders was banned in Germany evidently, Goebbels caught on that director Jacques Feyder and scenarists Bernard Zimmer and Charles Spaak were drawing deliberate parallels between the Spanish and the then-burgeoning Nazis.
战争喜剧，当时有暗讽纳粹的意图。室内、外场景变化比较多
尼德兰还是弗兰德~ “海上马车夫”荷兰人的战争物和平史诗~ 烧杀抢掠那一段刻画精细啊~ 服化道相当精彩~
剧本很有趣；电影很忠实于剧本，看起来却不太有趣。

3.5；即使有喜剧外衣，也难掩对男性无能怯懦的犀利讽刺，在战祸面前装死的大男子们，享受起女性以智慧和胆识赢得的珍贵和平与免税红利，可以堂而皇之当仁不让；只求女儿获得幸福的母亲，目睹走远的crush，若说没心动、没后悔的一刻，那必然是假的。
