L'Armée des ombres: Consider the role of the French Resistance during WWII. An underground co-operative dispensing summary justice under the German occupation. Ideas of loyalty change rapidly as our charcters grow into their roles. Great performances from Lino Ventura and Simone Signoret.

Rex Harrison bellows his way through another epic history. Typecast as Caesar from Cleopatra his soldier pope is lacking life and Charlton Heston can't realy play artists. Maybe cowboy artists. The Agony and the Ecstasy.

Emir Kusturica gives us reason to laugh as the bombs fall in Bosnia with Life Is a Miracle. A romantic war story where the animals have a special part. See also: Black Cat, White Cat

Taika Waititi captures New Zealand family life with Eagle vs Shark. Some great stop-motion animation and genuine characters with outragous attention to detail make this film a time machine for the future.
