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
- Great for anyone interested in what war does to people and war-film fans. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost. Shelve it next to Inglourious Basterds or The Caine Mutiny.
- The mood
- Intense.
- The pace
- Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 26 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- It's in another language, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A film about an incident in the last war when a gypsy girl sacrifices herself for her lover, a partisan who has deserted.
