Watched this movie a few weeks ago at the 13th Pusan Internationl Film Festival. It is one of the most impressive depictions of war I've ever seen, a dark and grim tale about the effects of war in Iraq even on those not fighting. Supported with passionate music and photography, this film is a kind of Iraqi elegy, with some truly haunting and heart wrenching scenes. Rather unique as a war film (or rather quite the anti-war film), this is not an action movie, nor is this a romanticisation of war or patriotism. When there is war action it's shot in unconventional ways and Fahdel (the director) gets his message across without any long speeches. Many of the effects are conveyed indirectly, but so effectively that some scenes compete in intensity to a film like Apocalypse Now.
Highly recommended. 10/10
