This is a war movie—a real one. This is a ghost story—a real one. This is an artist’s film— a real one. Telling the story of a squad of French soldiers in one of the most dangerous areas of Afghanistan during the recent war, the acclaimed young video artist and photographer Clément Cogitore manages to merge heterogeneous ideas of cinema into an incredibly convincing, mesmerizing and sometimes frightening work. The enemy attacks, sporadically; but more alarmingly, soldiers are vanishing without a trace. The landscape is a splendor, possibly a lethal splendor. Old legends and new weapons, men of combat and men of faith, traditional peasants and over-equipped Westerners have to share a common world, a world it cannot be said that any of them fully understands.
