Review of Flanders

Flanders (2006)
4/10
Unsatisfactory, poorly executed drama
30 September 2007
The story of a nymphomaniac and three of her friends who go to war. They live in a rural area and the young men are farmhands.

Weak dramatic construction and execution makes this an unsatisfactory narrative. One could put a positive spin by stressing the contrast made between the muddy, limited and mundane life of the farm with the dirty and savage moments of war zones. One could also call attention to the parallels between the minor moral transgressions of civilian life and the moral outrages perpetrated by combatants during an armed conflict. But even this alternative viewing superimposes itself poorly on the narrative structure.
