I'm looking for a film that fits ALL the following criteria:



1.  An anti-war film, particularly one that represents the effect of war on

civilians.

2.  An art film, meaning non-traditional narrative, stylistic

experimentation, or preferably both.

3.  Available on video.



Feel free to reply to me directly.



Why?  I'm teaching an intro film course, and am looking for a film to show

in class next week to illustrate a reading: David Bordwell, "Art Cinema as a

Mode of Film Practice."  With war against Iraq imminent, ideally I'd like to

show something that will promote thinking about the human costs of war.  I

guess I'm also looking for a way to express my outrage.



The problem is, I suspect most films on this topic tend to be fairly

classical in form.  I don't remember Forbidden Games well, but I suspect

it's  pretty classical.
