I was both chocked and fascinated by this film. It is a great and an ugly film. It comes as a pitiless, almost clinical study about dehumanization, how ordinary people can be trained to commit atrocities. The main character is Demester, a farmer in a miserable region of a French-speaking country. He and other people in that region have no perspective for the future. So it seems to be a ticket out of the local misery. There is a war going on in an unnamed country where people speak Arabic. They commit horrible atrocities and are also victims for similar retaliations.Demestre returns and cannot really communicate what he has been through.
As said, this film is ruthless and drills to the bone. We don't feel pity for all the characters involved. This film is even bleaker than Ordinary People by Vladimir Perišić (2009).
8/10
