Superbly driected.
Extremely lucky to have stumbled across this saga filmed through the eyes of an Austrian conscientious objector alpine peasant farmer during WW2. I will never take a loaf of homemade bread for granted again, for starters.
Pay attention to the scenery and sets,, as it tells a story just as important as the dialogue.
Clever non-verbal narratives speaks volumes.
Mesmerizing camera work.
Genius.
