Army sends a company of volunteers to patrol the unexplored West
Line of Events
In the winter of 1862, during the Civil War, the U.S. Minervini built the set in Montana and then let the actors live there for two months.
Roberto Minervini is known for his dramatic yet documentary approach to rural American life
The dialogue and thoughts the actors had while living in the wilderness are in the imagination of Civil War soldiers. With beautiful camerawork and meditative studies of the Civil War era and its characters, Minervini offers an intriguing new approach to discussing the aimless and bewildering journey of soldiers observing their surroundings and the battles of the war, while admiring them.
Strong sound design, naturalistic performances, and camerawork help create tone, atmosphere, and setting
Including good direction used throughout, and some of the fight sequences are well directed and presented. Some of the dialogue seems sad, but it sometimes ruins the elements of realism.
I guess I’m a bit of a liar
Overall, I found the elegant and engaging approach to the Civil War interesting. I know a lot of people don’t like this, but I really do.
