Only Jon Voight is missing

Rating: 8/10 (19 October 2019)

The low-budget of this didn´t bother me. The benefit of non-Hollywood is sometimes that you get authentic language, in this case german soldiers speak their own language, German.
"Stalingrad" is - more than action war movie - a chronological description of bad luck soldiers who end up in inhuman battle and weather conditions. A delightful exception compared to other war films. Imagine "The Bridge on the River Kwai" without the bridge, just soldiers dying in heat, projectiles, hunger and mental disorders. Of course there are certain dramatic twists, but in the big picture one can parallel this with Jon Voight´s "Midnight Cowboy","Deliverance" ad "Runaway train" where the most significant threat is the nature.
