Minervini built the set in Montana, after which the Actors let them live in it for two months
Plot
In the winter of 1862, during the Civil War, the US Army sent a company of volunteers to patrol the uncharted western territories. The dialogues and ideas presented are those that the Actors came up with in Living in the Wilderness, imagining themselves to be Civil War soldiers.
“The Damned”; is a completely boring movie
It looks like someone filmed a home video with a phone or an old video camera. Although the scenery is nice, the soldiers just wander around doing nothing.
All in all, it’s a complete waste of time
The changing seasons and snowfalls do not add much to the experience. You’d be better off watching a traffic jam from your window in a big city – much more entertaining than this movie.
I thought the directors and filmmakers were famous, but I’ve never heard of them
It seems that the most iconic filmmakers create films for a cross-cultural audience, not for ordinary people like me.
