Probably the greatest Aussie -War- film to date.
Do you remember, as a kid, watching stories of bravery and heroism set on a backdrop of war, and being fascinated by a kind of warfare you’d never even imagined before? Marveling at crafty allies and enemies alike pitting their wits as much as their weapons against each other to find each others weakness and foil the other’s strategy? Well Beneath Hill 60 is just like that- an old fashioned no-nonsense look at a fascinating angle of WW1 never before properly explored- TUNNEL warfare. There are moments that leave you stunned to think of what dangers and precautions these men had to be ready for, above -and- below ground.

Make no mistake though, unlike the coming of age tale Gallipoli or the military court drama Breaker Morant, this really is, at long last, an Australian WAR film. And quite possibly it is the best from this country so far (though I’m still yet to see The Odd Angry Shot so jury’s still out) and I would say one of the top ten WW1 films I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a LOT).

And it’s all the more incredible because it’s a true story. There was one moment which even almost made me tear up (unbelievable, right?) which I won’t mention, suffice to say it involved a briefly shown, but dialogue-less revealing of just how much an experience had left a man broken and hollow.

If I absolutely HAD to find fault with the film, it would NOT be the flashbacks (you can’t go round saying the characters were one dimensional and then say the background story was unimportant!) but perhaps the soundtrack. It knows what it’s doing on the battlefield, but in the flashbacks is unsure of itself, sometimes getting all melodramatic like an excited child.

Really, that’s it. The music seems slightly odd in one or two places. Everything else just WORKS. It’s visually stunning, realistic, has great characters, action, suspense (and how!) and even humour. That’s right, even in WW1 soldiers found time to crack the odd joke don’t y’know.

So do check this out pronto- you won’t be disappointed. And remember- keep one eye closed when the flares go up- you’ll see better once it goes out again. 😉

A moving tribute to forgotten heroes.
Films about the ‘Great War’ are few and far between so when one comes along I try my best to see it. This is offering is certainly one of the better in recent times.

Although set in the Western Front of Flanders, it follows the fortunes of an Australian unit who are mining under the German lines. The few films of the ‘Great War’ to feature Australians normally show the Middle Eastern or Turkish theatres but Beneath Hill 60 has them ankle deep in mud and rain.

As someone that has an interest in the Western Front, I was impressed the way the front-line was re-created. It was as authentic looking as one could expect considering most of the action took place in the mine shafts beneath the trench systems. Indeed, the dank claustrophobic shafts are captured superbly. As is the constant water and poor lighting. Almost a different world of mute silence which contrasts with the near anarchy of the surface…

An Australian reviewer has commented earlier on here about the British and Americans not watching this film. The Americans because they’re not featured and the British because they’re lampooned. As a Brit I don’t feel that there was ANY lampooning by the script – if it WAS intended then it failed. The script itself is well presented and the cast all give very watchable performances.

As is the case in these kind of films, there are moments when the tissues have to come out. beneath Hill 60 is no exception. Im pleased that it doesn’t dwell too long during the more moving sequences – nor does it use them to win over the audience. Apart from the obvious scenes, there is one part of the film which I found personally moving. in one of the last shots of the film a photograph is taken – one of the Australians is being portrayed as suffering from ‘shell-shock’ or what we now call PTSD. This is something I recall from own grandfather suffering from before he died when i was a child. Constant shaking and jerking – unable to ever work properly or drive. One of a whole generation of men whose lives were taken away – one way or another.

Beneath Hill 60 is not perfect but it IS is a very worthy tribute to those men who lost their lives – on both sides.
