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
- Tailor-made for anyone interested in what war does to ordinary people and western fans. One to watch when you can give it your full attention. A good follow-up to True Grit.
- The mood
- Intense.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 24 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1968: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
This film predominantly deals with the problems of a young man whom his delusions led into conflict with society. These issues will throw him into an adventure that would be tragic for him, but still helpful for him to see the truth. The story takes place in Kosovo in 1945, in an atmosphere of uncured wounds, wandering, betrayal, burned homes, typhoid and other postwar misery. An authentic story from those days was taken as the film's basis.
