What a gem of a war film. Not the heroic nonsense of many. More on the people trying to cope in a horrible situation. And their evolution during the journey the film brings to us. The subtle evil of the general versus the ambivalence of the sergeant. And the consequences of each. Film covers a lot of territory decades before we had Platoon and Deer Hunter. Don't expect a lot of action. It is more about how the events of war shape their path. Well worth the time.
