The hypnotic NEITHER HEAVEN NOR EARTH follows a detachment of French troops stationed on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan. When soldiers begin to disappear without a trace, the commander's first thought is that they were abducted by the Taliban. He initiates a furious quest into enemy territory, but falls short of finding the answers he seeks. Clement Cogitore's transfixing debut feature, which premiered at the Cannes Critics' Week, does not focus on the physical damages inflicted by war, instead it's a metaphysical exploration of souls lost on the periphery of a world at war with itself.

It is true that the movie has supernatural tendencies when one soldier after another go missing from the camp. But at the same time, you could hardly see a more realistic portrayal of life in a camp. The soldiers sleep, read books, exercise, contemplate the mountains, kill not only time, and they all dream of not breaking mentally. And maybe that’s what this movie is about, not about the supernatural and missing soldiers. On top of that, I have to admit that everything is kept together by the great Jérémie Renier. ()
