★★★ — Black Hawk Down (2001)
Genre War
War cinema, at its finest, refuses easy heroics: The Battle of Algiers brought documentary rawness to colonial conflict, while Grave of the Fireflies reduced the whole machinery of war to one small, unbearable human cost. The genre earns its place precisely because it can hold both the political and the personal without flinching. See what Macca made of it all in the reviews below.
