Watched this movie on the strength of the reviews. It is a fascinating pastiche of the real and imagined. The use of newsreel was well done but sometimes blurred the narrative. It reminded me of Joseph Losey's King & Country. The total deconstruction of a person and the detached mechanics of their situation. People become instruments of war, like a plane, tank or gun. They are nothing more than a commodity to be resourced. Probably ahead of its time but will not be everyone's cup of tea. Some of the scenes were striking (Beddoes in the trees) like huge tombstones. The sense on hopelessness is portrayed throughout. Worth watching.
