Underground (1995)
Original and superb
Whatever the underlying symbolism to do with the breakup of Yugoslavia, this film is a true great. The casting is fantastic and the acting craps all over the garbage I see in the cinema. I could not help but love every character in this movie
I don't care about the historical accuracy or political connotations (though I would maybe feel differently if I was from that part of the world), to me it's like a celebration of life and all the grief that comes with it. If you have partisan feelings I would simply advise you to shelve them and admire the art instead.
Watch it.
Barbarossa (2009)
Italian braveheart but even worse
Do yourself a favor and do not watch this film.
I saw the box-art and thought it looked like a fun, violence filled, medieval romp about a subject I knew nothing about.
Even though I know next to nothing about this history, I can tell this film is stupidly inaccurate and on top of this it's awful too. I wanted the hero to die from the moment I saw him, he can't act and is just irritating from first to last.
Even the violence was completely unsatisfying.. There is no redeeming feature - do not waste your time on this. Go read the wiki page on barbarossa instead.. far more entertaining, you will learn stuff and have at least an hour more of your life.
I hope Mr Hauer got paid a total fortune for his bit part in this film, he was the only decent thing in it.
