74. August sun (2003)


Country: Sri Lanka
Directed by Prasanna Vithanage

A low profile anti-war movie about the consequences in the people's lives of Sri Lankan civil war. Vinthanage without melodrama , without deaths and battles,  shows the cruel face of the war , narrating three stories that are running at the same time. People are loosing their homes, their relatives or lovers, their dignity. The movie doesn't have anything impressive , anything really staggering: but this modesty make it devastatingly realistic, and this simplicity make it extremely beautiful
