House of Fools
7.5 out of 10
Russia and Chechnya
The opening shots of train lines was some of the best cinematography I have ever seen. Based on a true story this film is so timely with the masses baying over blood in Iraq, Afghanistan, USA, Bali, and so many other places in the world. It gives the film so much more meaning. Those who get caught up in conflict are people little different from you and me. Janna is a patient at an asylum caught up in part of the conflict between Russia and Chechnya. As first the Chechen rebels and later the Russians hold sway over the asylum, you meet people who are soldiers and inmates.
