Inferno no Gelo

Before i started to watch this movie, i didnt have much expectations on this "another" partisan movie, as youngster i watched them many, from Ex-Yugoslavia movie studios. Some of them really great, some of them even now displayed in China on national TV.

Ok, lets go back to this movie. It is not high budget movie, there are no special effects, FX, DX, whatever sound systems, but movie is good, really good and true story.

One of the main battles before the Nazis capitulated in this region. Also acters were good. Passionate, i think they really went into the shoes of real persons.

Not to go much deeper, if you are interested to see some very good historical movie which took place in territory of Slovenia, i highly recommend.

P. S. Hardly waiting that someone will made a movie from "Drazgose battle".

Movies can have different versions - so I was a bit surprised when I read something about two hours I won't get back. The movie is only 90 minutes long, which is 1.5 hours, for anyone who is counting. On the other hand, if you are not having a good time (no pun intended), than time may seem way slower. As in actual time and time experienced differ.

Which also is quite true about the actual people and what they went through. It's not that we didn't know certain things, but war is always crazy ... and seeing "heroics" in the face of danger (and death) is something that we either cherish to watch (and applaud those involved) or be annoyed by it I reckon.

Well shot and well acted, but not a masterpiece by a long shot. Still more than decent.

Low-budget film that delves into a scarcely or rarely explored chapter of WWII, less known by the general public. Technically, it stands out for its outdoor photography capturing highly evocative mountain landscapes. The direction is somewhat academic, and the actors are not always believable in a type of performance that requires faces weathered by suffering and hardship. Nonetheless, there are very credible moments despite others being less so. Watching the final minutes of the film is crucial to understanding that it is based on a true story.

I rate it 6 out of 10 for the effort in creating a low-budget film that doesn't turn out to be a disaster. I'll add 1 star for the photography and for the ending...

Didn't care for this because nothing was explained. I had no idea what this battle was about. The director should have used captions to set it up. Plus, terrible acting snd direction. Boring scenes, slow lingering camera shots. No plot, no character development. I'm sure in hindsight that this was an important battle, so it deserved better storytelling. Boring. Pass!

A weird picture that on some specialized sites somehow got mixed in with proper good South Korean production. It seems to want to offer a new take on Eastern European partisans during WW2. The rag tag communist paramilitaries are usually known for blind adherence to ideology, robbing poor farmers and war crimes but here they're trying to tell us they also had a human side so they're shown performing a series of mundane and, for the viewer, increasingly boring tasks such as mending socks, cooking soup or reading books. A bit of action is then thrown in, with the obligatory flame throwing Nazis but it all falls flat. I understand the movie had a meagre budget but that's no excuse for stereotypical characters, dull dialogue and wooden acting, all in all it has the air of amateurism written all over it, best skipped.
