Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

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: Aimed squarely at history and war-film fans and anyone interested in what war does to ordinary people. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Liked Empire of the Sun or The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas? This is a good next one.
The mood: Intense.
The pace: Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 41 min.
What might put you off: It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

In an orphanage in Tirana at the beginning of the Second World War during the occupation by the Italian fascists, a group of boys make plans to rebel against the despotic director and the oppression by the management.
