Johnny the Partisan, or Il Partigiano Johnny, is a very good Italian WWII film about a young man who joins the partisans in the civil war in northern Italy that was occupied by the Germans.
Johnny engages in tragic and bloody battles where he looses some friends and meet new ones, he is thrown into a journey which sometimes doesn't even make sense to himself anymore.
Il Partigiano Johnny is one of the most well-made war movies, the atmosphere, environments, places, is perfect and realistic. The acting is great, the music: great. Most of the soundtrack consists of classical music. This is way better than any Spielberg-Hollywood-war-movie. This is a must-see and it's very sad to see it hasn't been released on more spread DVD's in other countries!
