Telluride 2015
THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY
really, really good films that made my day:
Beasts of No Nation
In an unnamed African country a happy ten year old boy loses his loving
family to a senseless and violent civil war. A rebel commander (Idris Elba
– Mandela) picks him up and turns him into a soldier capable of doing
“terrible things”. Cruelty, rape, torture and every other unspeakable act
are carried out with a kind of nonchalance by the band of child soldiers
who have no idea what they are fighting for … hard to watch but absolutely
riveting.
