Sunday, Mar. 7, 2010 VENUE TBA This realistic World War II drama reveals the hopelessness of battle through Italian soldiers fighting in Egypt. The film’s perspective, which shows the courageousness of Italian soldiers, has seldom been portrayed on film. “The acting is first rate, the story is more realistic than usually seen in a war movie, the cinematography is mesmerizing and the direction is decisive, mature and very capable. This one is for people who want a movie that reaches deep in their souls.” (From an Arthouse review.) 114 min. |
