Review of Burnt by the Sun (1994) by Peter D — 21 Nov 2009
It just makes me angry that this golden-hued nothing won the Oscar foreign language prize in a year of so many superior films (Kieslowski's RED & WHITE, BEFORE THE RAIN, CHUNGKING EXPRESS, LAMERICA, IL POSTINO and EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN, just to name a few).
By contrast, this is all rump pinching and skirt chasing until the Message sets in â?? something about how the cost of revolution are the souls of the previous regime's heroes. There's not a character in the whole thing, just cartoons.
