KUKUSHKA

I guess this Russian anti-war film by Aleksandr Rogozhkin just failed to resonate with me. For most of its running time I was wondering with the three characters who constantly talk to each other in three different languages while at the same time unable to understand each other, why sign and body language were used so little as a form of communication. I guess practicality and common sense is out of the question in this part of the world or else, there wouldn't be a movie.
