I caught this one probably like everyone else who has seen it: on IFC one obscure afternoon. I was in love with this film immediately. This hapless philosopher of a soldier is a likable narrator and his story is intriguing and involving. I found myself raving about this film to my artsy film Illuminati friends, just dying for them to get a chance to see it only so they can agree with me about how brilliant this film is. It's become a bit of an obsession, culminating in a feverish search for the DVD to purchase (I found it!)and you better believe I'm showing everybody this one. This is a wonderfully humorous and intelligent film that is definitely worth a look if you ever get the chance.
