Product: Stalingrad (2003)
Rating: 5.0
One of the best war films ever?
This film has been around a long time now. I first saw it in the cinema in London, and was totally blown away by it. I then bought it on VHS, finding to my horror, that it had been dubbed! Do not watch a dubbed version of this film! It is available cheaply on DVD, and it must be remembered that this was well before the days of 'Saving Private Ryan', or 'Blackhawk Down'. Possibly the finest portrayal of close combat and street fighting ever committed to film, this German production pulls no punches, and asks for no sympathy for the German aggressors. Films such as 'Enemy at the Gates' simply do not compare. It is a must buy for any collector of war films, or anyone interested in the brutal campaign to take Stalingrad. Completely authentic, posing little or no moral issues, it is a classic modern war film that stands out from the crowd.
