Storm

 

Germany 2009, 105 minutes
Dir. Hans-Christian Schmid
In English, German with English subtitles
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama, Suspense/Crime / Courtroom

Topics: Politics.

 

Aroview: Accomplished international courtroom drama sees a determined prosecutor (Fox) risk life and limb in order to prove that the former commander of the Yugoslavian National Army is guilty of genocide.

Curiously restrained, this is more pseudo-documentary than political thriller, its pursuit of an authentic account of the war crimes trial at The Hague is admirable, but so much exposition occasionally slips into history lesson. It is Kerry Fox, however, who makes the watch worthwhile, her multifaceted, fallible prosecutor compelling to the end.
