Review of Land and Freedom (1995) by Michael B — 01 Jul 2009
Moving war/drama about a naive, British communist who leaves for Spain in the spring of 1936 to fight the fascist's alongside the POUM militia. This is a very serious and mature affair that does not insult your Intelligence.
It's also beautifully shot and the cast is very believable all around. Watch this one back to back with "The Wind That Shakes The Barley". Loach really depicts the horrors of civil war and armed conflict in general really well.
This is without a doubt one of the strongest films of the 90s, and also Ken Loach's masterpiece. A beautiful film.
