Wes Craven speaks of the Vietnam war
by searchanddestroy-12025-12-26

"What a terrific little gem, this tale that will let no one indifferent. It may be read, understood in many ways. It may be seen as an anti war, pacifist film, or as a pure analysis of what the Vietnam war did on the men who were involved in it. It is complex to follow and summarize, but it is a tour de force from director Wes Craven to propose such a gem, a pure jewel. It is a drama, post war drama with the subtle TZ touch. A real must see...."
