Watched the amazing Russian film,
Край (2010) released in the UK with the daft title of
The Edge of War and the usual cover-art trying to sell a film as an action packed war movie.
Instead it is a beautiful arthouse production, darkly ethereal, set in a remote forest internment camp deep in Siberia for those considered traitors by Stalin for having been captured by the Germans during the war. Trains race through long endless forests, a strange abandoned locomotive sits on an island across a river, the main character struggles to find it and discovers a feral German woman hiding aboard. Very little happens, yet so much does.
If you like smart movies, this is one for you -
The Edge review. The Horizon DVD is meh, but the best available with English options.
Also, that was my 500th review!
