A soldier emerges from World War I so horribly wounded and disfigured -- his legs and arms amputated, his sight and face destroyed -- that he wishes only to die.
Industry Reviews
"[I]t's a delicate and lyrical affair, full of evocative and stylised flashbacks. There are some wonderful scenes of Bottoms with Jason Robards..."
Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (09/01/2004)
"[D]riven by an acute, angry intelligence. Hard to forget."
Uncut - Uncut Staff (09/01/2004)
"Trumbo spares viewers the full gruesomeness of his physical state, but hides nothing of the mental toll....The film refuses to treat war as an abstraction..."
