A very sorry state of affairs indeed...

Rating: Null/10 (31 January 2003)

Casualties of War is an all too real tragedy that I suspect will have a profound impact on all who view it. Though it is not a single specific true story, it expresses the true, horrifying face of war and its innocent victims. Many of the chilling scenes are still vivid in my memory, though I saw it years ago. I am not generally faint of heart, but I wouldn't want to see this film again. If you did enjoy it, however, I recommend the film Indochine, with Katharine Deneuve. Curiously, the lead South-East Asian actresses of both films, both of whom were excellent, have not been in anything else.
