a perfect film for summer holidays , kids can use this opportunity to join gogol on his adventure .
enter , the youngest sleuth of tollywood — goenda gogol . a t2 chat with director arindam dey who also revisits his own childhood through goenda gogol , a film based on samaresh basu’s young sleuth , which releases today .
gogol by samaresh basu geeky child detective gogol dreams of martial arts but uses his brains to solve crimes . gogol is always to be found with a magnifying glass and compass ( which i guess are redundant in the world of smart phones ) . the stories are charming . two film adaptations have been made starring young actor ahijit ghosh .
gogol and his parents set out on a holiday to puri . gogol curious as always stumbles upon an isolated house
basubari
infamous as a ghost hunting ground . thereby starts the story and gogol ' s search for the real reason of its abandonment . ashoke thakur is also looking for a clue in the plot to solve a case . both delve deeper with time to solve the mystery .
gogol was introduced by the renowned bengali author samaresh basu in 1978 ( sarodiya anandamela ) ‘goa i gogoler prathom kirti’after ‘goa i gogoler prathom kirti’ he wrote gogol amanibus to fulfill the demand of children audience . gogol amanibus is one of his major thrillers that has many series to it . this film will mainly concentrate the stories mahish mardini udhhar & rai raja udhhar . an adventure story based on popular scenic locales of the bengal village side . a venture of ishanee films producer : supratik ghosh director : pompy ghosh mukherjee script : smaranjit chakraborty / pompy ghosh mukherjee dialogue : smaranjit chakraborty cinematography : shasanka palit cast list gogol : ahijit ghosh gogol’s father : saheb chatterjee gogol’s mother : locket chatterjee ashoke thakur : indraneil sengupta jadab / madhab purut ( double role ) : subhashish mukherjee joy / magic dada : vikram chatterjee rai raja’s son : bhaswar chatterjee
yes , that’s also one of the reasons why i made goenda gogol ! it’s the trend now , every director is making a detective film . be it bomkesh or arjun or kakababu . i also wanted to make gogol because he is my favourite character . as a kid i have grown up reading samaresh basu’s books on gogol . that’s why i was so nostalgic shooting it . . . . it reminded me of my childhood .
rachana banerjee and shaheb chatterjee play gogol’s parents . indraneil sengupta and debdut ghosh play very interesting characters but revealing it will give away the story .

teenager ahijit ghosh is all set to make his acting debut in the role of a young detective in the upcoming film goyenda gogol . the film is based on a story by samaresh basu . the film has been directed by arindam dey and has been produced by ishani productions . “i was chosen after going through auditions and then i had a mentor , jeet sir who helped me out for this role , ” ghosh stated . “i am excited to be a part of a film for the first time because it is something new for me and even my classmates , some of whom have appeared with me in this film are eagerly waiting to see their classmate play a young detective on screen , ” he further added . ahijit was present at the press meet of the film which was held on saturday at princeton . besides ahijit , the film also stars saheb chatterjee , rachana banerjee , sumit sammadar , debdoot ghosh , mousumi bhattacharya , ankita , indraneil sengupta and child artist payel . the background score is by indradip dasgupta while the only song of the film has been sung by shilajit . bodhaditya banerjee is the editor while sirsha ray is the cinematographer . noted singer parama banerjee was the anchor at the press meet . goyenda gogol is slated to release on 24th may .
well , i would like to say that goenda gogol is an adventure film for children with a detective angle . based on samaresh basu’s sonali paarer rahasya , it’s a simple , sweet story that both children and adults can relate to . of course there’s a mystery that gogol ( ahijit ghosh ) solves in the end , so it’s not really an edge - of - the - seat whodunit . it’s an entertaining film and a travelogue . we shot the film in puri , a very identifiable place for bengalis .
true . detective stories are the most difficult to shoot . it took me eight months to shoot goenda gogol . shooting got stalled many times . sonali paarer rahasya is a three - page story , so i had to build on it . i incorporated a train sequence . i have also modernised gogol , given him specs and a tab . there are long chase sequences in the jungles . plus , the haunted house around which gogol’s adventures take place had to be built on the puri beach . puri has changed a lot since the time samaresh basu wrote the story . i couldn’t find a single house which looked old and worn - out . we were supposed to shoot in konark but couldn’t because of the rains and then i didn’t get the permission , so we had to shoot the konark portions in udayagiri .
this is the most important side . to connect , you need to identify . i have seen i can identify a lot with gogol despite we two apparently belonging to different time zones - 80s and now ,
the 11 - year old boy with matured talks despite his age , reasoned .
gogol is no ordinary sleuth . he carries the ‘what not bag’ which includes things like compass , magnifying glass , a tab and other things which come in handy when he goes to solve cases . he is also an expert in karate . though the story was initially written in the 70s , yet it has been ' modernized ' to make it more contemporary and appealing to the younger generation . this time gogol goes to puri to spend summer holidays with his mother and u . s returned father and come across mandar villa or ‘hanabari’ as it is better known , a deserted and haunted house which catches . . .
having idolised feluda aka sabyasachi chakraborty and roger moore and daniel cliff as james bond respectively , child artist ahijit ghosh feels upset for not squeezing enough time to read gogol ' s exploits in books before enacting the ace kid - sleuth , samaresh bose ' s most popular child hero in bengali children ' s literature .
the summer holidays are here and here is a film for all kids to enjoy . it is not byomkesh , feluda or the others , but the kid sleuth , gogol ( a character created by samaresh basu ) who is here to entertain you and all the children during this holidays . this film has been released during this time since this is the best time for kids to enjoy such a film when they will be free . gogol is no ordinary sleuth . he carries the ‘what not bag’ which includes things like compass , magnifying glass , a tab and other things which come in handy when he goes to solve cases . he is . . .
while indraneil as ashoke lends credibility to his character — that of an undercover cop — with his personality and body language , shaheb and rachna do a good job as gogol’s ( child artiste ahijit ) parents . the two kids , ahijit and payel , appear convincing for their age . the bad man , debdoot as professor neel , is suitably dislikable and gives an impressive performance .
goenda gogol is a bengali children ` s movie . the film is written by arindam dey and produced by supratik ghosh and is an adaptation of samaresh basu ` s

. the film has been shot in kolkata , tajpur , udaigiri and khandagiri . the central character of movie is being played child artiste , ahijit ghosh . the film also stars indranil sengupta who is playing a negative role .

the film unfolds in a village in bengal . all the members of a once royal family assemble during the durga puja celebrations . series of events take place and gogol with his presence of mind solves them effectively . “the film will take many of us back to the times when joint families were a way of life . moreover the durga puja in the background will also appeal to the children and their parents alike as the durga puja 2014 is just around the corner” said director pompy ghosh mukherjee .
gogoler kirti is a film which is aimed to bring back the old flavor of durga puja , puja special food and adda and also about family bonding . the music of the film has been composed by surojit chatterjee who said that the music has been composed keeping in mind the fact that this is essentially a film for the children . this is also the first time that the music director will be making usha uthup sing the theme song of the film go gogol go . he had earlier worked with usha uthup for small screen shows . sriradha bandopadhyay , usha uthup , rupankar and surojit o bondhura have lent their voices to the songs in the film .
like all other directors , i too want to make films on various subjects . ajob prem ebong . . . was a very serious film about an accident , so i had decided that my second film would have a subject that i should be comfortable with and people should enjoy watching . gogol is a character that every child is familiar with and to watch their favourite character on screen would be a lot of fun . my next film chaya manush is about a writer ( parambrata chattopadhyay ) and a recluse ( raima sen ) . my fourth film will be a biopic on the singer geeta dutt , starring paoli dam . variety is the spice of life , after all .

primarily targeted at children , the introductory scene of the film has been smartly packaged , which sets the ball rolling . for a change , the haunted house really seems scary ! the director has used all the necessary ingredients — from sound effects to visuals — to shape this into a proper adventure flick . however , with the entry of too many characters , the plot loses its grip in the second half . the chase sequence where ashoke tries to catch the villains on his bike is a tad comical ; the poor special effect diluting the impact .

the bengali detective is box office manna in kolkata , and producers are snapping up rights for some of the most memorable characters .
winter is open season for detective movies in kolkata . the mandatory feluda or byomkesh christmas flick is now synonymous with a nip in the air , snaking queues outside flury’s at breakfast and that inexplicable feeling of buoyancy that comes with the advent of christmas . it is time to believe in fairy tales once again , or in their modern counterpart , the detective story – where we are assured that justice will prevail , if only on celluloid .
as the mercury dips , i spy an array of bengali thrillers lined up for the holidays – antarleen , a murder mystery set in kasauli ; double feluda by sandip ray , a twinning of ray’s shorter feluda mysteries samaddarer chaabi ( the key ) and golokdham rahasya ( the mystery at golokdham ) and arindam sil’s byomkesh pawrbo , an adaptation of amriter mrityu ( the death of amrito ) .
the bengali detective is box office manna in kolkata today . not surprisingly , producers are snapping up rights for some of the most memorable characters .
feluda by satyajit ray fifty years since the first stories made an appearance in print , the translations have ensured feluda’s popularity in the rest of india and the world . released in 1974 , satyajit ray’s sonar kella brought to life rajasthan’s medieval architecture , a six feet - tall handsome young detective with a teenage sidekick , hypnotism and reincarnation in one magical package . in sonar kella , as well as in joi baba felunath , ray introduced the audience to the villains early on , making for a snappier climax and a shorter denouement , which typically slows the genre down in its final stages . many actors have played feluda , including shashi kapoor in a doordarshan series , but soumitra chatterjee retains an iron grip on everyone’s imagination till this day .
feluda’s quirks include writing in the greek alphabet in his notebook and a working knowledge of most trivia that could take surprising twists and turns – from hindustani classical music to renaissance art to elliptical curves . his monastic existence in the stories , which do not feature women in pivotal roles , demand a foil in the enchantment of trivia . ray’s feluda films are the richer for the way in which he brought in little nuggets of information into the script , seemingly with a careless sleight of hand . surprisingly , this light touch has been lacking so far in the later adaptations , which choose to focus on telling the story straight – but the plot of samaddarer chaabi is nothing but a riff on trivia , and i confess i am looking forward to the film .
byomkesh bakshi by saradindu bandyopadhyay in spite of making his film debut under ray’s direction way back in 1967 , byomkesh owes his blockbuster status and universal acceptance in a large part to basu chatterjee’s tv adaptation with rajit kapur in the lead . kapur seemed to own the role of byomkesh bakshi more than any other actor ; there was something in the natural sharpness of his face matched with the familiar middle class appeal of his persona that summed up the professional detective solving cases for a living .
byomkesh has been played by many actors , notably uttam kumar , but none of them have the cult status that rajit kapur commands . the bengali adaptations have got the period details right but have yet to find the perfect byomkesh , in my opinion .
dibakar banerjee’s detective byomkesh bakshy ! spiffed up the character and brought a fresh narrative style to the film , byomkesh on acid , if you will . many people were uncomfortable with the treatment . i enjoyed it thoroughly and am eagerly waiting for a sequel .
kakababu and shontu by sunil gangopadhyay srijit mukherji’s note perfect casting of prosenjit chatterjee as kakababu is as close to a coup as we will ever get in bengal . historian ; bachelor ; crippled in an accident ; ex - director of the archaeological survey of india and frequently sought after by indian intelligence – kakababu’s real name is raja ray chowdhury . shontu is his nephew ( hence the kakababu ) and the narrator . refreshingly , the kakababu series have girls as major characters , both as shontu’s friends and collaborators .
the first kakababu adventure to be filmed was shobuj dwiper raja ( the king of the emerald isle ) by tapan sinha . there have been a few tv adaptations , but srijit mukherji’s recent kakababu film , mishawr rohosyo ( the egyptian mystery ) , starring prosenjit chatterjee in the lead , is a far superior attempt to bring the crippled adventurer to life . like rajit kapur , prosenjit owns the role , which is half the battle won in this genre . there are 39 kakababu adventures in all , so i wish the srijit mukherji - prosenjit chatterjee duo a long innings .
kiriti roy by nihar ranjan gupta nihar ranjan gupta had quite a few film adaptations under his belt – meri surat teri aankhen , mamta , do anjaane and uttar phalguni . therefore , it comes as a bit of a surprise that his most popular character , the dapper detective kiriti roy , debuted only in 2016 on bengali screens in an adaptation of his book , kalo bhromor ( the black wasp ) . a second kiriti film has just been released , based on the story setarer sur ( the sitar’s melody ) .
kiriti’s character was etched on holmesian lines – he smoked a pipe , carried a magnifying glass , preferred a kimono and tatami slippers over the standard pyjama kurta at home – but the plots were often rather simple . his stories remind me of the fu manchu series instead – fantastical , enjoyable , fast pulp . i did feel the first film needed more noir and pace in its style to work . anglophile kiriti ray needs to come into his own as a unique character on celluloid and not as a clone of his more popular counterparts on film to succeed .
shabor dasgupta by shirshendu mukhopadhyay police officer , not a private eye . honest . loner . shabor brings a touch of realism to the genre and is definitely not a detective series for children . the films feature saswata chatterjee in the lead . the stories are murkier , the lines between right and wrong can be blurred , but shabor dasgupta is a refreshing change . he is a contemporary detective devoid of nostalgia .
arjun by samaresh majumdar a single arjun film ( kalimpong e sitaharan ) made its unremarkable debut in 2013 , but arjun and his mentor inspector amol shome are distinctly different from many fictional detectives and ripe for a re - imagination . arjun is a young adult who is the adventurer - detective hero and not a sidekick of the older detective , for one thing . secondly , he is a small town boy from north bengal . as the series evolves , arjun matures , unlike adult detectives who are already evolved . however , as a relatively less known character , especially when compared to byomkesh and feluda , arjun would fare better on television , until he is familiar enough to audiences to take the leap onto the big screen .
colonel niladri sanyal by syed mustafa siraj the raja sen - directed colonel , starring chiranjeet chatterjee in the eponymous role , released in 2013 . his lazy sidekick , jayanta , was played by actor shaheb chatterjee . the ex - colonel is bearded , jovial , an ornithologist , butterfly collector and sleuth and follows a large fan following among the older generation . but the colonel might need to be reintroduced to younger audiences via television first – he has yet to reach the wide recognition that feluda and byomkesh enjoy . these two series have been filmed since 1974 and 1967 respectively , and have decades of viewing behind their mass appeal .
prasanna kumar basu by narayan sanyal around the time ray introduced feluda , there was also narayan sanyal’s lawyer detective – pk basu , an indian perry mason , who debuted on film . the first pk basu novel , nagchampa , was published in 1968 and made into a film in 1974 called jodi jantem ( if only i knew ) starring uttam kumar as pk basu . the stories were “inspired closely” by agatha christie and erle stanley gardener , which is probably why adaptations were not considered a possibility .
bengali detective fiction could be a lonely place if you wanted women , except for a few notable exceptions , who have yet to make their way to the screen . rituparno ghosh famously had to reinvent miss marple as an inquisitive aunt in shubho muhurat ( if you haven’t seen it , please do – one of rakhee’s best performances ) . but for home - grown talent , i would recommend two – mitin mashi series and the lu quartet .
mitin mashi by suchitra bhattacharya mitin mashi , aka pragyaparamita mukhopadhyay , is a personal favourite . a resident of south calcutta , mitin is known by her nickname ( which bengali isn’t ? ) she is a smart , contemporary bengali woman , a wife , a mother , an aunt ( mashi ) to her niece tupur and also a consulting detective . the series has a view of calcutta as a multicultural , constantly evolving city and mitin mashi navigates her adventures and mysteries in this milieu with great aplomb . there was some talk of a film adaptation with rituparna sengupta , but nothing has been announced so far . a tv series would be a fun watch too .
the lu quartet by nalini das way back in the ’80s when i was a scrawny schoolgirl , i used to devour nalini das’s adventures featuring kalu , malu , bulu and tulu as middle - school students from the same hostel who would bust gangs and solve mysteries with aplomb . every time i read a nancy drew and felt a pang about there not being enough girls in detective stories , the lu quartet brought a smile to my face . i cannot recommend the books enough for a screen adaptation , although television would be the best medium , in my opinion . disney has had its moana moment ; so can our detective films .
jayanta manik by hemendra kumar roy hemendra kumar roy’s detective jayanta and his friend manik are supported by the comic police inspector , sundarbabu . hemendra kumar roy’s oeuvre merits an entire article . suffice it to say that jayanta - manik firmly established the very indian contemporary detective operating in an indian milieu for the first time in bengali fiction . they were modern , nationalistic , scientific in temperament and distinct in their indigenousness . it is a great pity that we have not yet had the pleasure of seeing the trio on screen .
parashar barma by premendra mitra a detective and a poet , most often compared to hercule poirot , parashar barma is possibly the most underrated of all the goyendas on my list . his methods are lackadaisical , whimsical even , and cause his friend and chronicler , krittibas , much agony – until they make sense in the end and reveal parashar’s genius with a flourish . but the beauty of the series is in its writing . the books are a joy for any reader of the language . perhaps it is just as well that parashar is still waiting in the wings . a great detective film needs a nuanced treatment of the character and in barma’s case , also a delicate touch with language . parashar barma needs a director who is also a poet .
this was my list for those who would like to dip a toe into the genre . but it comes with a statutory warning : many of the adaptations aren’t great films as such , usually tripping in the second half when they fail to sustain the pace of the plot . quite a few have shoddy production values . a few shine . but then , if you are obsessive about the genre , as i am , you know you will watch them all , pulp , noir , classic crime , slick or shoddy . you will appreciate a few , long after the film has ended , and some will make you weep with frustration .
jash sen writes and thinks about detective fiction whenever she has a moment . she is the author of the young adult fantasy adventures the wordkeepers and its sequel , skyserpents . she swears she is working on the third book , soul army .
brand reality and brand values have never been more important for the bottom line .
on a typical saturday morning , roaming the isles of your regular grocery store , you pick up a bottle of , let’s say , fresh juice from the refrigerated section . without a second look , you place it in the shopping cart , like you do every week , making that particular cold - pressed juice an essential part of your diet . that confidence in a product comes from knowing exactly how it’s made and what it’s made up of . in other words , that confidence comes from a transparent brand .
several brands across industries have initiated transparency programs that give consumers depth of information , from brand communication and product description to production methods and company policies . for instance , maiyet , a new - york based luxury brand , weaves stories about its collaboration with artisans in varanasi , india and shares them with its loyal customers through its communication channels . waleda , a 93 - year old beauty firm , shares information on its commitment to fair trade , wages guidelines and a list of environmental standards on its website . these brands were featured as the top 10 brands in refinery29’s transparency awards that looked at various transparency criteria - like sharing information with employees and the public and consistently improving transparency practices .
an example closer to home can be seen in maggi . the brand has shared the entire production process of maggi masala noodles , from making the noodles to sourcing ingredients for the tastemaker , in a two - part video series . the first video , shot in the tahliwal nestle factory in himachal pradesh , breaks down the production process of the noodles , covering details such as how the grains are sourced , how they are kneaded into dough and then cut into thin noodles . the second video focuses entirely on the fresh ingredients that go into making the maggi masala tastemaker . this is a crucial step taken by the brand to increase its transparency .
so , why are brands trying to be more transparent ? as customers make more informed purchase decisions , they increasingly want to know more about the brands they buy . according to hbr , “by giving people a window into its workings , a company can show it has a sound process it’s adhering to . it can avoid asking customers to have faith in a black box . the greater the transparency , in other words , the greater the trust . ” this trust gained from consumers can also have an impact on the bottom - line . as per this study in brand transparency , up to 94 % of customers surveyed were more likely to be loyal to a brand that offers transparency , while 73 % said that they are willing to pay more for a product that offers complete transparency .
people’s distrust in companies has grown in line with the rise of social media , rating and review sites and the online market . the demand for transparency was further escalated by a few events that had a global impact . the rana plaza tragedy in 2013 exposed the ugly truth behind the fast - fashion industry . 5 years hence , big fashion brands have pledged to adopt good industry practices and be transparent by publishing their supplier list and the type of products made in the facility . more recently , a slew of large data scams brought the world’s attention to the misuse of personal information shared on social media accounts . the resulting outrage pushed social media behemoths to share transparency reports with the public at regular intervals .
moreover , an entire generation of evolved , sophisticated and discerning consumers , known as gen y or more popularly as millennials , pushed companies to realise the importance of building trust through transparency . millennials , being digital natives , don’t go by the traditional path to purchase but consider various other aspects before making a decision . kira karapetian , vp of marketing for label insight , in an article written for forbes points out that “when millennials make purchasing decisions , they’re considering more than the traditional drivers of taste , price and convenience . ” she goes on to explain the millennial tenets of self , society and planet : “how is the food i’m buying enhancing the quality of life for my family and myself ? ” and “how are brands adding good to the world in which we live . ”
like in any relationship , building trust can take years . by adopting transparent communication and practices , brands can deepen their connection with their customers , building brand loyalty and love . despite its presence across indian homes , dorm rooms and even the highest mountain peaks , maggi has entrusted its loyal consumers with information about their production , packaging and ingredients , showing them that the reality of the brand matches its promise . the brand teamed up with the highway on my plate duo , rocky and mayur , for the videos that give us a how - it’s - made glimpse of our favourite maggi .

a belated addition to the commemoration of ww1 centenary , ermanno olmi’s film greenery will bloom again ( torneranno i prati ) , released late last year in italy , is - predictably enough - unlike any of the other film attempts made last year to remind the world of the one step into folly taken by mankind at the beginning of the last century which somehow .
as the son of a wwi vet , ermanno olmi has a personal connection to the “war to end all wars . ” perhaps that’s why his “greenery will bloom again” is so reverential — reverential to the point of being frozen . beautifully lensed scenes in the snow - covered trenches of northern italy testify to the master’s 55 years in the director’s chair , yet this unexpected return to feature filmmaking , set among a company of soldiers battered by austrian shelling , lacks the fullness of vision that graced “the profession of arms . ” local play and reviews in november were respectable , but “greenery” is unlikely to bloom outside scattered fests and retrospectives .
last year’s world war i centenary produced a number of commemorations and special events but few films . one filmmaker who found inspiration in a war his own father fought is ermanno olmi . showing once again that he is among italy’s most masterful and humanistic directors , he evokes the terror of combat in the short but effective greenery will bloom again ( torneranno i prati ) . the nonsensical english title doesn ' t do justice to this rigorous story and would sound far better in a more literal translation like “the meadows will return . ” completed last fall , the film enjoyed a brief release in italy and had some playdates in the us and uk before landing in berlin as a berlinale special . positive critical response could help bring it to more international audiences .
but somehow , next to the horrors served on a daily basis by every single audio - visual channel in the world , this impressively stylised plea to put a stop to the self - destructive madness humanity seems bent on , looks almost like civilized reminiscences of another time and place , which may seem almost exotic to a younger audience . as for the film’s motto , “war is an ugly beast that wanders the earth and never comes to a halt” , it suggests the acceptance of this madness as a kind of divine curse we’ll never be rid of . and the only thing that will not be affected is the nature that will bloom again , until the next war breaks out .

auteur ermanno olmi , whose six decade career spans masterpieces like il posto and the tree of wooden clogs , again demonstrates he is among italy’s most masterful directors , as he evokes the terror of war in this short but stunningly effective and hypnotising film , reminiscent of terrence malick’s the thin red line .
the most powerful elements of “greenery” come from the contrast between the darkly lit trench interiors and the vast white landscape around them , punctuated by shells striking the unit’s position . at first just heard in the distant valley below , the mortar blasts inevitably hit much closer to the soldiers’ coordinates , and the staging of the explosions is particularly well handled ( though the nonstop muted din of bursting shells in “journey’s end” created a more effective state of claustrophobic madness ) . inevitably , olmi fans will make comparisons with “the profession of arms , ” yet these are two very different conflicts , and the previous film offered a more complete picture of character and period .
the fuse is lit by the arrival of a major , who tells the feverish captain that he must follow a senseless , suicidal order . in the tense face - off that follows , the captain disdainfully strips himself of his own rank . the bunker is bombarded , and a retreat is ordered . the dead are buried in the snow , where they will wait for the spring thaw .
working , as he always prefers to , with non - professionals whose anonymous but eloquent features are more effectively striking than anything a famous face might convey , olmi’s austere restraint and slow pace underline the dread hovering every moment of the proceedings . a strangled scream of anguish controlled by a master , this is bound to be appreciated by audiences that will not be scared away by the theme .
for auds well versed in history , “greenery” not only brings no new insight , but also recycles the common perception of a senseless war in which officers sent foot soldiers out to die ( in fact , there was a higher percentage of mortality in the officer class than among the rank - and - file ) . viewers with little background knowledge — the film is available to all high schools interested in screenings — are unlikely to get involved emotionally , largely because the characters mostly remain nameless , and while the pressures of a certain type of trench warfare are felt , the movie takes an entirely too respectful , slowed approach to truly grab the uninitiated .
olmi , who will soon be 84 , may have never been a great storyteller , but very few filmmakers can hold a candle to his talent as a mood setter . he chose his locations in remote corners of the wintery alto adige mountains , shooting mostly at night , using for background the vast , spectacular stretches of snow - covered slopes , sprinkled with dark shadows of the pine forests spread over them , a pale moon and the occasional flares sent up life brief comets across the sky , the only lights shed over the scenery .
photographed by the trusty fabio olmi in such drained color that most ( not all ) of the shots seem to be in black and white , the story is set in a cold mountain bunker on the northeastern front , so close to the austrian trenches that the italian soldiers “can almost hear them breathe
. their outpost is buried in deep snow and the dirty , bedraggled men are forced to sleep on boards in the freezing cold .
though lacking the dazzling narrative complexity of his two previous anti - war films , the profession of arms about the fervent papal commander giovanni de’ medici and the chinese fantasy singing behind the screens , this harrowing drama follows the minimalist path to devastating effect . the tension rises palpably scene by scene . there is nothing new here , no great insights into the suffering of soldiers at the front that hasn’t been shown elsewhere , but the intensity of the central scenes is riveting , almost shocking .
the actors are so bundled up and swathed in wool that only their smudged faces are visible , yet each is highly individual and communicates a different reaction to the god - forsaken situation he finds himself in . many of the enlisted men are simple farmers ; one is a miner . several share a bit of their lives in an aside to the camera . olmi’s screenplay foregoes the standard division of characters into good and evil , friends and foes , as when a neapolitan soldier stands on a hill at night singing piercing love songs for both armies to hear .
the film also avoids allotting easy blame . the relationship of deep friendship and respect between the bad - news major , played by the film’s only star claudio santamaria , and the exhausted captain ( francesco formichetti ) is surprisingly human . no voice is raised . when the major leaves behind his young , inexperienced lieutenant ( alessandro sperduti ) to take the captain’s place , it seems like the boy is being set up for disaster , but olmi doesn’t waste precious screen time on cliches . the film lasts just a concise 78 minutes .
the final tagline , “war is an ugly beast that wanders the earth and never comes to a halt , ” sums up the spirit of it all .

in this seventy - two - minute feature , the octogenarian ermanno olmi depicts the physical and emotional torment of italian soldiers enduring combat in subterranean barracks beneath snow - packed fields during the first world war . his anecdotal narrative—based on tales he heard from his father , a veteran—sardonically reflects the randomness of death , as well as the unforeseeable displays of courage and outbursts of revolt at moments of crisis . life hangs on the strength of a telephone wire , rampant disease ravages esprit de corps , and the enemy’s espionage inspires paranoid anxiety . over - all , the movie offers little of the visual poetry and analysis that made olmi’s name , but , in a remarkable scene near the end , a literary soldier composes a letter to his mother and recites it directly to the camera , followed by a montage of archival footage . the sequence delivers an aesthetic shock , and launches the film beyond the narrow confines of the action . with an intimate simplicity , olmi evokes the decades of political and social upheavals throughout europe that followed the fragile peace , suggesting the colossal toll of all wars . his story points past the second world war and into modern times . in italian .
ermanno olmi delivers an overly reverential glimpse at trench warfare in the italian alps .

the film world has been distressingly sluggish in acknowledging wwi’s centenary , so while it’s encouraging to have someone of olmi’s stature address the horrors of the conflict , the result adds little to the list of superb pics — “the big parade , ” “wooden crosses , ” “all quiet on the western front , ” et al . — to deal head - on with the conflagration , and even falls short as a commemoration of the event . much of the problem here lies with the vet director’s dutiful approach , full of quiet voices and too - clean line deliveries , with every action and glance fraught with tragedy .
shooting was done in the mountains of the veneto’s altopiano , site of major military action and also the setting for francesco rosi’s superior “uomini contro” ( though that pic was lensed in yugoslavia ) . a fresh snowfall temporarily halts military action as soldiers , in a stunningly composed scene , dig out the supply trenches . their sympathetic major ( claudio santamaria ) receives word that communication lines have been tapped by the enemy , who now know their whereabouts . orders come from hq that new wires need to be laid , though it’s a suicide mission , since snipers are targeting anyone going beyond the trench .

born in 1931 in lombardy , olmi is a much - awarded italian film director . his film the tree of wooden clogs ( l ' albero degli zoccoli ) was awarded the palme d ' or at the 1978 cannes film festival . in 1988 , the legend of the holy drinker ( la leggenda del santo bevitore ) won the golden lion at the venice film festival .
claudio santamaria delivers an intense and subtle performance as a major who arrives with bad news for a group of bedraggled soldiers in a bunker on the north - eastern front , close to the austrian trenches . so close , in fact , that when a neapolitan soldier stands on a hill at night singing piercing love songs , both armies can hear . the outpost is buried in deep snow and the dirty , sickly men are forced to sleep on boards in the freezing cold . the major’s instructions for a senseless suicide mission causes an unthinkable face - off . the tension rises palpably sceneby - scene in this work made with devastating simplicity and painful realism ; a poignant memorial to italian soldiers .

olmi’s austere restraint and slow pace underline the dread hovering every moment of the proceedings .
inspired by la paura ( the fear ) , a novel written by federico de roberto in 1921 , these brief recollections of moments in a war that was fought mainly in the trenches , replaces the sound and fury normally associated with the genre , focusing instead on the intense fear , loneliness , misery and darkness of soldiers stuck like moles in their underground fortifications , at the mercy of enemy snipers and of heavy artillery and never allowed them to stick their noses into the open , and of the orders coming from their own headquarters , for whom life and death are merely a matter of strategy and statistics .
no doubt a breathtaking landscape , but the heavy silence reigning over it inspires anguish and terror rather than pastoral admiration . the soldiers trapped underground are helpless pawns in a game they have not started , whose reasons they do not perceive , but whose results promise to be fatal , the fatigue , fear and despair written on faces that are barely visible in the murky light . no real plot guides the script , just a series of events that could and probably did take place in the trenches , in this or any other sequence , compressed into just one night .
a sniper puts an early end to an attempt to go out of a trench ; heavy shelling gets closer and closer to the shelter until it is hit , leaving behind destruction and death , incidents that are not necessarily tied together either by specific characters or a story line , just brief scenes out of a major carnage , a war drained of all glamorous vestiges of glory , leaving behind only the pain , suffering , desolation and despair it generates .
