    Burning Bush

    Reviewed by

    " BURNING BUSH " took almost a staggering FOUR hours to view, this acclaimed Czech film from the brilliant Agnieszka Holland all dealing with a period that goes back to the very late 1960's. This is a film that many won't see because of its length AND because of its historical content, two things it has going against it as people just want cheap thrills at the movies. The film is so alive and engrossing as it stages a most violent period when the former Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968. But the film becomes more than an invasion of one's fatherland. Protesters abound with one case study in particular that is beyond what many might be able to handle. Bring in the police, politics, the whole system of justice with a classic courtroom drama and what one gets is some powerful film making that teaches us a great deal. Burning Bush is a huge endeavour on every level, one of the very great accomplishments of the 2013 film industry!
