Last Letters from Monte Rosa

Ari Taub's film is a rich tale of moral complexity tinged with an invitingly surrealist air.

What leaves a bad taste in the mouth is not the film itself, which is passable for a low-budget war picture, but the fact that neither the official Web site nor the press notes even suggest that it largely has been scavenged from an existing movie.

This low-budget curio feels remarkably authentic but lacks a core story structure.
