Triple bill of World War Two dramas. 'Everyman's War' (2009) is an
American drama based on the personal wartime experiences of
director Thad Smith's father. Don Smith (Cole Carson), a young
sergeant in the 94th Infantry Division, finds himself unarmed and
wounded on the frontline of the Battle of the Bulge, the largest
and bloodiest battle involving American forces in the entire war.
As the Allies advance through the snow-packed, densely-forested
mountains of Ardennes, Don's sweetheart Dorine (Lauren Bair) waits
at home in Oregon, desperate for news. 'Anonyma: The Downfall of
Berlin' (2008) is a German drama set in Berlin in the final days of
the war. The events of the film are based on the real diary of an
anonymous woman who lived through the liberation of Berlin by
Soviet troops in 1945, suffering shockingly brutal treatment by the
city's captors. Living in the basement of her bombed-out apartment
building with a handful of similarly destitute neighbours, the
woman - known only as 'Anonyma' (Nina Foss) - endures repeated rape
by Russian soldiers, and tries to wrestle a modicum of control over
her destiny by using sex as a tool for survival, forging an uneasy
sexual alliance with Russian leader Major Andrei Rybkin (Yevgeni
Sidikhin). Brad Haynes directs the Australian drama 'Broken Sun'
(2008). In 1944, a group of Japanese soldiers held in a P.O.W. camp
deep in the Australian outback make an escape attempt. One young
soldier, Masaru (Shingo Usami), ends up hiding in the remote
hilltop farm of reclusive farmer Jack (Jai Koutrae), a World War
One veteran who never recovered from the traumas he experienced as
a soldier. Despite their differences and mutual suspicions, it soon
becomes evident that the two men share the understanding that war
is not simply a question of good versus evil but a complex set of
rules by which each of them is duty-bound to abide.
