Documentary about a British officer sent to Naples in 1944 soon after the Allied invasion. He finds a city devastated and starving. Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch.
Scattered documentary without much structure or flow. Some interesting and disturbing real footage but includes many clips from Italian cinema too, shown as the backdrop to the diaries being narrated.
This powerful documentary foremost reminds us of the horrors of war brought onto innocent civilian populations but also gives us an insight into the humanity and people of the time.
