A chronicle of the movements of a squad, from the US 1st Infantry Division, through WWII, from a beach-head assault in North Africa to the liberation of a concentration camp in Czechoslovakia. The sergeant, played by Marvin, and four young riflemen are the only ones to survive the war, and one (Carradine) is Fuller's surrogate, and this is Fuller telling his own story, synthesising every thought he ever had about the experience of warfare, no heroics, no anti-heroics, no 'drama' to speak of, ins find out more...

Third part in Aleksandr Sokurov's tetrology, following "Moloch" and "Taurus", focuses on Japanese Emperor Hirohito and Japan's defeat in World War II when he is finally confronted by Gen. Douglas MacArthur who offers him to accept a diplomatic defeat for survival. Captivating, surreal and humane. A profoundly good movie. find out more...

Powerful World War 2 epic, nominated for seven Academy Awards and boasting a top-quality cast. Set in the Pacific, this beautifully shot drama follows the lives, and deaths, of an American army rifle company through months of battles as they attempt to capture an otherwise idyllic island from the Japanese. Some truly tense action during the men's various missions, but this is basically a moral tale of the horror and futility of war. Nick Nolte is particularly good as a big, bad and possibly unhi find out more...
TRANSIT (2018)

Certification12 Our Rating

A man attempting to escape Nazi-occupied France falls in love with the wife of a dead author whose identity he has assumed. Highly recommended. Imaginative setting, letters of transit, Occupied France, unrequited love, maybe a bit slow, making it seem a bit long at times, and an enigmatic ending, of course. The German actor a doppelgänger of Joaquin Phoenix. A sometimes intense, always intelligent, c find out more...

Fascinating, highly visionary, epic scale surreal story spanning 50 years of Balkan history (WWII to Yugoslav civil war). Focusing on friendship rather than conflict, love, betrayal, big balls, gangsters, theatre and a whole underground population who don't know the world war is over yet. Truly bizarre..
