War, I saw

Warsaw 44 (2014)

Written & directed by Jan Komasa this film stars Jozef Pawlowski, Zofia Wichlacz and Anna Prochniak. In 1944 teenagers join the Polish home army and take part in the Warsaw uprising against the German occupiers.

Taking a historical backdrop this fictional story manages to capture the horrors of the real events and while it never goes deep into the political aspects it tells a good human story. Some may find this hard watching but I thought it was a really good film. Unusually the film mixes in modern electronic music on it's sound track which works surprisingly well.


4/5
