De sidste mænd i Aleppo

Poetisk og indfølende, med stærke karakterer og en nådesløs dynamik.

...gruelling portrait of a city without hope.

An unforgettable and essential documentary about something that demands to be seen, even if it can never hope to be understood.

“Show me a hero and I’ll write you a tragedy,” said Fitzgerald over 70 years ago. “Last Men in Aleppo” understands the gravity of that line to a T.

Overall, the “you are there” footage lends the film a more journalistic than artistic tone, yet the emotional effect is intimate and unforgettably gripping.

...has the upsetting urgency of breaking news: There are moments that could have come straight from a live stream, given the violence that’s still rocking Syria, months after Fayyad’s cameras stopped rolling.
