World War II Classics (UK-import)
Double bill of war features. 'Attack on Leningrad' (2009) finds English journalist Kate Davis (Mira Sorvino) trapped within the besieged city of Leningrad. Separated from her lover, writer Philip Parker (Gabriel Byrne), and presumed dead, Kate is rescued by a female member of the Leningrad militia, Nina Tsvetkova (Olga Sutulova). Together, the two women battle to stay alive throughout the devastating 800-day siege. 'Days of Glory' (2007) explores the plight of the North African troops enlisted to fight in the French army between 1943 and 1945. Despite the fact that the four young Arabs around whom the story centres, Said (Jamel Debbouze), Martinez (Bernard Blancan), Messaoud (Roschdy Zem) and Abdelkader (Sami Bouajila), are effectively fighting for one colonial oppressor against another, they are determined to represent their country well and battle for freedom, tolerance and respect.
