War Horse. 2011. USA/Great Britain. Directed by Steven Spielberg. 146 min.
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.
