War Horse

War Horse

2011. USA/Great Britain. Directed by Steven Spielberg. With Jeremy Irvine, Emily Watson, David Thewlis, Peter Mullan, Niels Arestrup, Joey. Spielberg’s spectacular but moving adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s children’s novel about a thoroughbred in France is one of his more passionate films, reminding us, among other things, that war, and particularly World War I, is also an unprecedented horror for non-human creatures. 146 min.
