      camille l Art of Conflict est un documentaire qui, de par son sujet (les peintures murales en Irlande du Nord en temps de conflits de la région) est forcément passionnant tant est qu'on s'intéresse au sujet. De ce fait, le film de Valeri Vaughn avait déjà cela pour lui. Et même si la réalisatrice le fait de manière particulièrement académique, enchaînant les images d'archives, les face caméra d'intervenants plus ou moins intéressants et les peintures murales narrées par Vince Vaughn, Art of Conflict est assez bien ficelé pour tenir la route tout du long (et ça ne l'est pas beaucoup). Cependant, cela ressemble bien trop à un documentaire TV qu'à un véritable film de cinéma. C'était à l'époque le premier documentaire original distribué par Netflix et ça se sent dans le rythme, pour le meilleur ou pour le pire, selon ce qu'on attende d'un documentaire sur un sujet aussi complexe. Difficile de le traiter sévèrement. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Very good documentary Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review ian t Interesting. Few things tbh I think the standard of the murals wasn't great but I suppose thats not the point. As a film, the production values were poor and I think the film-makers didn't quite seem to understand the history (for example graphics labelling people 'protestant' and 'catholic' when I doubt all the people involved would identify themselves as such, shows a lack of understanding of the subtly of the situation). I enjoyed it, simply because I'm always interested in hearing about the history of the conflict from those who were involved and its a fresh angle to explore it. If you don't know much about the subject matter I would start elsewhere. BBC had an excellent 12 part series on northern ireland, although I can't seem to find it now I think it was called 'the troubles'.
