33/27

In the winter of 1862, during the Civil War, the U.S. Army sends a company of volunteers to patrol the uncharted western territories. Minervini built a set in Montana, then let the actors live there for two months. The dialogue and ideas are presented that the actors came up with in the film “Life in the Wilderness,” imagining themselves as Civil War soldiers. The Damned: In the winter of 1862, a unit of Union volunteer soldiers is sent to defend the mountain ranges, we are not told where it is, we are not even given the names of the soldiers. The regulars travel, led by a John Brown-type patriarch with a scruffy beard, and his teenage son has also joined the service. The crowd is mixed, some middle-aged, even older, most in their thirties. All lack military experience, They share knowledge and pass on skills. We witness the moving guards, the distant horsemen. Buffaloes being shot and slaughtered, the bleak landscape, the hills, the mountain meadows, the drifting snow, the cold rations running out all contribute to the developing existential despair. The battle is on, we don’t see the enemy, we see the casualties of the unit. War is hell, especially when you no longer know why you are there. A very Ken Loach-style film, with no dialogue on a daily basis, and lots of ordinary people, amateurs, acting as soldiers. This improvisation leads to philosophical, religious and political discussions around the campfires. Some of it is welcome. But it is a small distraction from this brutal depiction of the men of war. Written and directed by Roberto Minervini, 8/10.
