      Audience Member BEHIND THE LINES (1997) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member [font=Tahoma]Full review to come.[/font] Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A sad, lyrical, and lovely film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member When compared with the book it is based on, there is a lot of area where this movie could have gone and didn't, but as a film itself it is a very good one. Sad that it was overshadowed by the other war movies that came out at the time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I love the poetry of Wilfred Owen and Sigfried Sassoon. I first saw this film soon after I experienced a terrible loss at a young age, and I'll never forget the anguished cry of the naked man in the wilderness....I've felt that before, too. In war or in peace, the frailty of perspective is understood by those who hunger for even the simplest of human connection....the death of chivalry gave way to the beginning of the darkest century man has thus experienced. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Behind the Lines aka : Regeneration . This Movie is from the 1997 Toronto Film Festival. Its a war movie that shows how bad conditions were in World War I, and what the soldiers had to go thru back in hospitals to get straighten out. Main character in this one is a poet who is an officer who in the end goes back to front lines. Its Ok not one of the best from the film festival. 3 1/2 stars best I can do. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
