ARMADILLO


3 out of 5. ARMADILLO by Janus Metz Pedersen is a beautifully crafted documentary almost to a fault. It follows the lives of a group Danish soldiers to Afghanistan. Much in the same vein as RESTREPO it balances the intensity of firefight with the sheer boredom of nothing in between. Why this one stands out is because it is so well shot and edited with post-coloring effects that you sometimes forget it's real. It's still no less moving and worth a look.
