9/10
Moving and Informative
2 July 2008
Warning: Spoilers
History is made accessible and engaging in TORN FROM THE FLAG, a film whose first person accounts of the Hungarian Revolution are gripping, informative and, ultimately, very moving! And the film looks great. Gorgeous! No big surprise with the likes of László Kovács and Vilmos Zsigmond behind the lens.

One story in particular moved me -- a world-weary man bent on revenge after the war has his heart turned in a single moment with an innocent child. Directors Klaudia Kovacs and Endre Hules have clearly put their hearts into this project, which I understand was a long time in the making. They should be proud of themselves, as this is first rate work.

Would not be surprised to see TORN among the nominees at the next Academy Awards Ceremony.
