KANAL is an honest attempt to distill and capture the feel of the actual events of War; without the embellishment of jingoism or hagiography which is the kiss of death to most War films IMHO. It's a story that really needs to be told in this manner, and Wajda does a superb job.
I would rate "Talvisota", The Winter War, by Finnish director Pekka Parikka as an equalling gripping depiction.
Indeed, there is no substitute for talent.
