Wings of Courage
1995 Adventure / Short / Romance
Review
This was the first IMAX film that was not
a documentary, and since there are not many IMAX theatres few people
saw it. That’s a shame because Wings
of Courage is very good. Like all of Annaud’s work the
film is stunningly photographed and the period re-creation (the late
20’s) is convincing. Gabriel Yared’s score is also very good (and
is available on a rare soundtrack CD). Based on a true
story , Wings of Courage is a
testament to the human spirit. If I have one quibble, it is the
casting. This film tells a French story, and it would be more
appropriate if the actors were French. 3 stars.
