'The Shepherd' is brutal, honest, painful and creatively stunning. Focusing a war story on a lonely shepherd in a desolate rural town with minimal dialogue should not make for captivating viewing, but it certainly does. I was absolutely enchanted by the technical achievements, which in isolation would be enough reason to recommend this film, but when working with the nature of this story, create a powerful - if not horrific - story of war.
