The reality was terrible, 13 August 2008
10/10
Author: Valdimir from Russian Federation

This ultra-naturalistic film about the assault of Grozny, but even despite this reality was terrible.

Facts over the brutal bullying of prisoners Russian soldiers have been documented witnessed. "Purgatory" gives a relatively restrained and correct picture without unnecessary details. Still, this is a film about war, but not of torture. The fighting has shows not without mistakes, but as we approach the reality, as far as possible.

Nevzorov lack the means, so the movie was shot in style, reminiscent of a movie rather low and art-house. But from this film only wins. Not glossy and grim atmosphere on screen passes good mood of that war. It was a terrible and ruthless war, and "Purgatory" can be described as anti-war film. The protest against the carnage is visible in each frame.

Best film about the Chechen war.
