Plot

American soldiers fight the Battle of Guadalcanal in the Second World War, with contemplative voice-over.

Sinekatalog’s take

Terrence Malick's Guadalcanal drama is a meditative, poetic war film. Its whispered voice-overs and nature imagery turn combat into a spiritual question, and it is beautiful, strange and wandering.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
