Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at war-film fans and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Leaves you with something to think about. Same wavelength as The Guns of Navarone or The Last of the Mohicans.
- The mood
- Intense.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 23 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
During World War II three best friends are mobilized into the Waffen-SS Latvian Legion. Years later their fates continue to intertwine, as memories of war loom in back of their minds.
