The War That Never Ends

1991 · 70 min

A talky, stage-bound history lesson delivered as solemn news monologues, rewarding close attention but rarely cinematic or emotionally immediate.

How it feels: Earnest, tense, melancholic and satirical. Measured and demanding.
About: War, power, politics, morality
Content: Mild violence and language. No gore or sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
