profound, and better than 'ryan'

Rating: 8/10 (29 April 2002)

A very underrated film, quite profound at times, very beautiful, and one that says a great deal about the horror of war, the human dilemma both in the trauma and the contrast between the incredible beauty and the terrible horror that man can face. A better film all round than the skilled but crowd pleasing spectacle of 'saving private ryan'. Now determined to read the book and compare.
