A British coming home


Resurrected (1989)

Directed by Paul Greengrass this film stars David Thewlis, Rudi Davies, Tom Bell and Rita Tushingham. A soldier returns from the Falkands war after being missing and presumed dead for seven weeks only to find he does not fit in any more.

Fitting easily into the coming home genre this film covers the sort of territory you would expect, looking at how no one wants to deal with soldiers suffering from the scars of war. A number of films, especially those about the Vietnam war, cover similar issues but this film does in a complete and balanced way. There are some good performances from the cast and first time director Paul Greengrass does a good job on what was obviously a low budget.

4/5
