A far greater film than Saving Private Ryan, that understands that war, to its combatants, isn't about flag-waving, or what Wilfred Owen himself termed "some desperate glory". Wonderful performances and a script which thinks about its subject, and provides few answers, which tends to make for the best kind of storytelling, the sort that lingers with you the next day, and the next.
One should see this movie if only for the moment when one patient says to the psychiatrist, about the trauma of having his head engulfed by the decaying flesh of a German corpse when it fell on him in a mortar attack, "The worst thing is, it's now a joke."
For the watcher, it most certainly is not, and that is why everyone should rent Regeneration.
