Beasts Of No Nation - Criterion Collection

The nightmare of war is seen through the eyes of one of its most tragic casualties, child soldier, in this harrowing vision of innocence lost from Cary Joji Fukunaga. Based on the acclaimed novel by Uzodinma Iweala, Beasts of No Nation unfolds in an unnamed, civil-war-torn West African country, where the young Agu (Abraham Attah, in a haunting debut performance) witnesses carnage in his village before falling captive to a band of rebel soldiers led by a ruthless commander (an explosive Idris Elba), who molds the boy into a hardened killer. Fukunaga’s relentlessly roving camera work and stunning visuals, realism so intensely visceral it borders on the surreal mmerse the viewer in a world of unimaginable horror without ever losing sight of the powerful human story at its center. (2015)
