THE ART OF WAR

Rating: 10/10 (24 March 2020)

This is a beautifully crafted love story set in the horrors of the Russian war with Germany. The cinematography is extraordinary. It really carries you into the heart of war torn Stalingrad in 1942.
It is difficult to call this a war movie even though it is non stop action, violence and death. It is a simple love story of 5 brave soldiers and their love for one dogged and Indestructable woman who refuses to leave her home in the face of powerful forces of evil.
And yet, those same forces are shown to be human too. Such a stunning epic. Funny, poignant, heroic, sad and dramatic.
A building that bleeds red dust that refuses to die.
Wow!
