Toxic masculinity, generational prejudice, burgeoning progressiveness, workplace sexual politics, the role of the LGBTQ+ community in the military – ideas vying for space in Austrian David Wagner’s promising feature debut. At once overstuffed and oddly slight, it’s a restrained and sincere work. Which might just be what’s holding it back from unqualified success.
After opening with an austere shot of a bombed-out, snow-dappled building and the score’s melancholy wail pushing one’s Arthouse Cliché Meter into overdrive, the action starts in earnest with new recruits being welcomed into their military training programme. Their drill-sergeant’s name is whispered – Eismayer (Gerhard Liebmann), the mythical badass who once killed a man with push-ups and blew-up a cow on manoeuvres, so the rumour mill would have it. Among these recruits is Falak (Luka Dimic), a handsome and charismatic Yugoslav who immediately seems to have more confidence and experience than the rest of the cohort.
