Greenery Will Bloom Again (Torneranno i Prati)

[Fugate Starkweather]

This looks good. I'm planning to see it at a local Italian film festival next week.

Quite good if a little slow moving. Basically a bunch of filthy, scared soldiers in a freezing trench on the Italian front in WW1 try to survive as shells explode all around them. No much else in the way of plot, no combat other than the shelling and you never see an enemy soldier. I suppose that reflects the reality of trench warfare, tedium followed by terror. It was genuinely unsettling in places and the shelling actually seemed a lot more frightening than it usually does in war films. Well worth checking out if you're interested in military history.
