Synopsis

In Northern Italy, WWI has turned into a bloody stalemate. Bogged down in their trenches on a barren highland, the men of an Italian infantry division have been given one objective: retake a commanding height from the enemy.

Our take

World War I was a war that changed everything—including film. This is a very different kind of WWI epics: a tough attack on wartime insanity from underrated Italian master (and Palme winner) Francesco Rosi in his prime. In HD.
