What 15 Minutes of War Is About
In February 1976 in Djibouti, a school bus carrying the children of French servicemen is hijacked at the Somali border. After thirty hours of tension a rescue is planned in which the marksmen have to fire simultaneously, since a second's delay would cost the children their lives. Fred Grivois builds the film on that wait; the action is brief and almost entirely in the last section. The episode matters in French history because the unit that carried out the operation was the nucleus of what became the GIGN. It is drawn from the real event and alters the detail freely. The heat of the desert and the silence of the wait are the best-built things in it. Who it is for: viewers who like military operation films drawn from real events. Who it is not for: anyone after historical accuracy, since the invented side dominates.
