With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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
- If you count yourself among anyone interested in what war does to people and people who need a good giggle, this one's for you. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
- The mood
- Light and funny, intense.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 31 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1966: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
A group of kids from the Bosnian village often run away from school from the terror of Pepper, a teacher who got his nickname because of his red nose. Soon they formed a brigand division, but have been discovered and caught. The sudden arrival of year 1941 turns their game into reality.
