Best movie ever!
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
I am lucky enough to have some pushers who can provide me with rare war films from all over the world. Especially from Eastern Europe countries such as Germany, Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Japan, and so on. From these countries, many movies were never been released more west. I have seen a little batch, thanks to these guys. This one makes me think of another film from Poland too, telling the story of a group of young underground resistant movement against Nazis. Nothing really new if you compare with the other features, not at the same scale as L'ARMEE DES OMBRES, the best film ever about this kind of topic. But the characterization for this one is rather good, the score and filming too.Worth seeing. And keep in mind that there are many others like this one which we probably never see.
