No Man's Land (I) (2001)
6/10
More black than comedy
6 June 2002
A skillful a drama as ever could be mustered, but crucially here, the humor is only derived from the one-dimensional stereotypical portrayal of the various UN nationalities and the savage media hordes. It is they who are needed to keep the story afloat. What eventually emerges however is a unique film that draws more on the absurdity of the situation and the futility of war than any deliberately conceived script innovations the writers could put together. A very worthy film with rather more ‘black' than ‘comedy'. More drama from this particular European conflict should be given a chance to be seen on film
