Cultural Dessert

'In the Valley of Elah'

26 March 2008

Last Monday we were at the delightful little cinema in Lynton, North Devon, to see 'In the Valley of Elah' - a film with Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron about American soldiers returning from Iraq. Although dealing with an extremely grim subject this was a clever and enjoyable film which repeatedly avoided the many traps it could easily have fallen into. Most of the horrors are recounted rather than shown and I think the message is more powerful for it.
