One To Watch: Armadillo - The Danes in Helmand Province, Afghanistan
"Janus Metz’s “Armadillo,” which follows a group of Danish soldiers through a tour of duty in Helmand Province in Afghanistan, has a lot in common with “Restrepo.” Each film is named for a Forward Operating Base, and each one focuses on the daily grind of the men who fight there."
"Mr. Metz’s cameras somehow capture — you shudder to think of how — an intense firefight and its bloody aftermath, an event that turns “Armadillo” into a queasy ethical puzzle. What happens is shocking, and yet it also seems, especially to the soldiers, completely logical and acceptable. "
