Amazing cinematography

Rating: 7/10 (23 January 2020)

Extraordinary film.that really makes you feel you are in the middle of the trenches and the devastation of WW1. Superb photography throughout contrasting the beauty of the Normandy countryside in spring with the many corpses and wounded, endless mud, ruined villages and blasted trees etc. Good cast also though most of them only appeared briefly. The weakness is the script which in the opening exchanges between the 2 main characters seemed rather dull. However you are soon caught up on the amazing visual experience.
