The definitive war film of the last 20 years.

Rating: 9/10 (30 August 1999)

So much has been said about this film yet the accolades often seem to be filled with a hint of confusion. "It was weird, but I liked it" was my 16 year old cousin's response. After some explanation of the plot and having her read "Hearts of Darkness" she came back and said she rented it and watched it twice and finally got it. Vittorio Storaro's cinematography is spectacular and the sound mix can only be truly appreciated with a pair of headphones. In ten words or less. "A must see."
