Army sends a volunteer company to patrol the uncharted Western territories
Story
In the winter of 1862, during the Civil War, the U.S.
Minervini had the set built in Montana, then let the cast live in it for two months
The dialogues and thoughts expressed are the ones the actors came up with while living in the wilderness imagining to be soldiers in the Civil War..
Roberto Minervini is known for his dramatized yet documentary approach of American rural life
Filled with beautiful camerawork and a meditation study among the Civil War era and it’s characters, Minervini provides an interesting new approach on discussing the aimless and dreadful journey of soldiers wondering and observing their environment and the battles of war.Strong sound designs , natural performances, and camerawork helps to establish the tone, atmosphere and environment.
Including good direction used and throughout some of the battle sequences being well-directed and presented
Although some of the dialogue ends up feeling off-putting that destroys the realism aspects at times.
Guess I am a bit pretentious lol
As a whole, it’s beautiful and mediative approach on the Civil War is something I found interesting.I know this one isn’t going to be on many people’s liking but I like this a lot.
