Kathryn Bigelow’s Oscar-winning drama about an American bomb disposal unit in pre-escalation Baghdad (2005) is a stunner in its dense hyperrealism and minimalist structure. It’s tough for war flicks to completely avoid glorifying the action at least on some level – aka soldier porn – but Bigelow and her brilliant cast get it right, even while (or perhaps partly due to?) omitting any ideological nitpicking: you’ll have to figure out the big "Why?" on your own. OV with German subtitles.
