Description
CRAZY by Hedy Honigmann (Holland, 1999, 97 minutes)As the fourth program of our series, HOW WE FIGHT: Conscripts, Mercenaries, Terrorists and Peacekeepers, we shift to the neutral soldier. Dutch filmmaker Hedy Honigmann is known for her documentaries on Paris street musicians (Underground Orchestra), Peruvian taxi drivers (Metal and Melancholy) and Brazilian fans of the erotic poetry of Carlos Drummond de Andrade (O Amor Natural). She is a master of the interview, and in Crazy she turns her attention to soldiers who arep "peacekeepers," Dutch veterans of UN peacekeeping and humanitarian forces who were stationed in Korea, Lebanon, Vietnam, Cambodia, Rwanda and Bosnia.
Structured primarily around conversations with nine former soldiers, "Crazy" is a powerful testament to what it means to endure or witness the excruciating suffering of warfare. Her film about the futility of the peacekeepers is one of war's most compelling indictments.
