Gallipoli

Gallipoli is a predictable war movie filled with all the gung-ho cliches of the genre -- and I loved it.

Gallipoli was, and is, a triumph.

Weir's objective was not to show us Gallipoli through a documentary lens, but with an artist's vision. He has succeeded magnificently.

One of the most elegiac anti-war films ever made.

Classy and lifeless.

A haunting and moving tribute to the Australians who sacrificed their lives in WWI.

This is a stunning film, widely acclaimed and rightfully considered today to be one of Australia’s all-time best

For its flaws, Gallipoli is consistently interesting, and attractive to look at.

It maintains interest throughout, without ever being a particularly gripping, dramatic experience.

Peter Weir concludes his movie by leaving promises unfulfilled. But it's precisely that absurdity, that emptiness, that he had set out to communicate. [Full Review in Spanish]
