The lust and the destruction!
I neither read the book, nor seen the original film. It was a small slice of the American civil war. But did not focused on the actual war. A fictional drama that followed an injured soldier who sheltered in a girls school was looked after well by the stayed back...
Gimly (Rated: 5)
A well acted Civil War drama, but one that perhaps would have played better on the stage of a theatre than the screen of a cinema.
Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
