Un'ombra negli occhi

Covering the WWII RAF raid 'Operation Carthage' Some harrowing scenes that added to the realism. And good acting from the children involved.

Apart from the necessary sub plot it's pretty much true to the actual train of events and well worth a viewing. Brings home the horrors of collateral damage in wars.

Indeed, this is a gripping story by any standard. One of the unintended unfortunate consequences of war to the unaffected bystander but deeply tragic to the victims' families.

Great acting by the young actors, namely, Betram Enevoldson, Ester Birch and Ella Nilsson. They performed their roles like veteran thespians. The side story of Frede and Sr. Teresa, while unnecessary to some, actually enriches the overall narrative.

Any war is horrible but mankind hasn't learned its lessons yet. Should we accept this as integral to the human condition?

Horrible to think of the circumstances that make this such an incredibly moving film especially as it is a true story.. RAF bombers head for Copenhagen to bomb the Nazi headquarters out of existence, where its its occupants have placed a human shield in the building. However, as with all the best plans something goes very wrong and..........? Fanny Bornedal (daughter of the writer director) plays the mischievous, maverick Nun, Sister Teresa who is able to win over the school children as she speaks and acts on their level. The real stars include Bertram Enevoldson, Ester Birch and Ella Nilsson as three of the kids. Keep the tissues within reach.

Or the truth of wars, when wrong fully targeted elements of society are hit due to either wrongdone calculation or just willfully, it hurts generations to come anyhow. Copenhagen where hit, but also bergen , laksevåg in norway where also hit by the brits when trying to raid u-boot bunkers, missing and taking out a elementary school instead, with massive amout of casualties why i mention this is that my friends mum survived the ordeal, and ive always been admiring her gut and how she told her stories, when youre a history geek yourself...

this is danish film at the rim of the heavens gate, produced, filmed and acted in such a raw dirty manner, showing the frights of war. Its in the air these days to make war, so spread the rumour about this film asap, it might give some human beings hesitation.

Ett stort ''hurra hurra'', to this epic war drama, a big recommend from the grumpy old man.

As a cold hearted SOB it's extremely rare to find a film that hits me in the feels, but this one certainly did. Well written and executed and fantastic child actors. This is up there with some of the best war films in my opinion.
