The Somme
2005 · Movie · 89 min · ★ 5.9
The Somme was a modern battle of such prehistoric brutality that its horror is hard to comprehend. Never have so many soldiers been killed in one day's fighting: 25,000 dead, most in the first hour. This film is based on letters and diaries of soldiers who witnessed the battle first hand and wrote down what they saw and felt.
