75A powerhouse of a film about modern journalism and war, with battle scenes that have the immediacy and impact of the famed opening sequence of "Saving Private Ryan."
-
75It's that very savagery -- not its love-can-conquer-all theme -- that makes Harrison's Flowers worth picking.
-
60Making such a tragedy the backdrop to a love story risks trivializing it, though Chouraqui no doubt intended the film to affirm love's power to help people endure almost unimaginable horror.
-
30Leaves us with a heightened appreciation of the bold and personal films made by a number of filmmakers of the former Yugoslavia.
