    About the insanity of war
    First World War. A more or less forgotten front: in the Italian Alps Italian and Austrian troops face each other. The Italian general Leone orders his men to storm the heavily defended Austrian lines without proper artillery support. They are butchered. Discontent finally leads to a mutiny.

    This is a very dark movie that in a very moving way describes war in its utter absurdity. I consider it a great movie.
