DARK BLUE WORLD (2001)

JAN SVERAK

Plot

A story set around Czech pilots who flew under the banner of the RAF during the second world war this a visually lush and striking film, though the story itself relies rather too heavily on melodrama, providing as it does a picture of cinematic heroism and love lost that firmly shuns any threat of originality. Dark blue World is by the same director as Kolya and though by no means a bad film it stills leaves you slightly disappointed that he did not do more with the subject he had chosen.
