David Diop it takes the band of Brothers/surviving the horrors of war story device in a completely new direction.
He explores the demands of war. The way that a soldier’s asked to be hyper violent – an action that demands a certain amount of insanity – but to have some control and decorum over violence and insanity is meted out.
Can someone who has seen done and experienced what these men have returned to any type of normalcy?
The ending didn’t quite work for me, but the middle was amazing.
