Aender S The plot might be interesting and although I don't mind taciturn characters, the acting is generally bad in this film here.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member With its ahistoric settings it could be a period piece of a time just a bit behind our own, or it could be science-fiction of a time a wee bit ahead of our own. Generic clothing, minimal dialogue, no music, out-of-date automobiles, and horses that run alongside tanks. War in an unnamed place being fought over unknown grievances. Don't believe the moronic blurb that describes the movie. Andre isn't the only one with an inability to show affection. Whatever else Flanders is about it is certainly also about the way that circumstances blunt love, compassion, communication, empathy. Whether it's bucolic farmland in France or a desert theatre of war. It's a dry, hard film, one that I think owes a lot to Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (and Kubrick's objectivity in general) and to a lesser degree, but I think unmistakably, to Brian DePalma's Casualties of War. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member The war scenes were very powerful, but the rest of the movie is typically French, i.e. pretentious and boring. Watch the war scenes, fast forward through the rest. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Des cris , des gemissement quelques paroles grognees et inintelligibles, c est tout ce que vous donneront les personnages de FLANDRES. Ce film singulier , rebuttant au prime abord, necessite que le spectateur lache prise sur sa propre attente de l histoire et de l image. Considere par certains comme un film sur les horreurs de la guerre, Flandres semble avoir une espece de dimension plus organique qu un festival de violence. La barabarie guerriere et l abandon eprouvee par Barbe sont utilises comme des situatiosn extremes qui contraingnent l homme a reveler ces emotions animales : la peur , le desir sexuel, la survie etc.... Une fois videe de leurs pulsions les corps s oublient, l esprit s eleve. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Bruno Dumont did sth really great, very cold, nihilistic, quiet, slow and emotionally powerfull. So many questions appears while watching, existential questions. Techincal side of the film is not important, Dumont is not a director, he is a philosoprer and the film is just the way of eexpress his thought. Well done, well done...
