Landscape After Battle (1970)


Directed by Andrzej Wajda
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Vanguard)

Freed from a German concentration camp, Polish prisoners end up in an American refugee camp after the war where life is just as bad. They argue amongst themselves over politics and never have enough to eat. A couple of beautiful girls show up one day, providing an opportunity to reminisce about the good old days back in the concentration camps. Their meager attempt at romance is interrupted by a trigger happy American soldier. Dense, murky story mired in politics, marred by a zoom-happy cinematographer.
