Review of City of Life and Death (2009) by Francisco G — 05 Sep 2011

A movie with some of the most disturbng and powerful imagery ever seen on a war film, that depicts the Najing Rape with extreme accuracy that unfortunently has many technical and script flaws. The editing is messy and too quick at times, contrasting with amazing settings and black and white; the characters are bland and I just couldn't feel the connection with their dillemas - if it probably stuck with a more visual narrative movie as it does masterfully at times, avoiding some horrid oneliners and dialogue this would be a landmark in movie history.
