Les confins du monde

This type of film has been done dozens of times before and they always fail at their anti-war message. In a perfect world, wars would be unnecessary but a student of history knows they are sometimes unavoidable and even necessary to live in a free world. The better war films focus on the heroic sacrifices good men make so others can be free. Anti-war films such as this instead like to dwell in the gutter of the inhumanity of war most of us would like to avoid.

To the Ends of the World goes from bizarre surrealism to brutal depravity and then to explicit pornography for no real reason. Some decent cinematography is ruined with disjointed musical scores that makes you think you are watching some bad arthouse film. The pacing is slow and the characters are not interesting. There is no real ending either. You just question what the hell did I just watch?

There really is no point to this weird movie except to try and tell a pretentious allegory of war that we already know and have heard many times before.
