A great film, but hard to watch

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 1999)

This was an excellent film, but watching it can be a frustrating experience. Not because of any defect on the film, but because of the story. Not that it's badly written, but that the story itself is frustrating. It's hard to describe in detail without spoiling the film, but I will say that there is a travesty of justice portrayed here. The most frustrating thing is that the sort of thing described in this film really did happen. Why the generals of World War I (pick your country, they all had there share of crazy generals) weren't tried as war criminals for what they did to their own men is beyond me.
So I can't in good conscience recommend this film for you if you're depressed or in a sour mood. But otherwise, this movie is definitely worth watching.
