Plot summary

These are the years of the First World War and Dr. Stefano Zorzi spends his days in the Exemption Clinic in a large city of Northern Italy, where he not only takes care of soldiers who arrive from the massacre of the front, but also he fights simulation and self-harm of those who hope to be dispensed, by sending them before the Military Court. If Stefano, in fact, does his utmost to heal soldiers and send them back to fight, Dr. Giulio Farradio makes them ill, or helps them to self-injure seriously enough to be exonerated. The two doctors, who went to university together and were great friends, they not only (secretly) challenge each other on a professional level, but also on the sentimental one: they are both linked to Anna, a courageous nurse with a strong character. But when the great ‘Spanish’ fever epidemic arrived in 1918, the time for love, politics and science ends up getting confused dangerously...

A poignant reflection on war and humanity

Gianni Amelio's Battlefield (Campo di battaglia) is a sobering exploration of the physical and emotional toll of war. Set during World War I, the film follows Dr. Stefano Zorzi (Alessandro Borghi) as he navigates the chaos of a frontline clinic, treating both combat injuries and self-inflicted wounds from soldiers desperate to escape the horrors of battle. The arrival of the Spanish flu further intensifies the crisis, while a quiet rivalry with fellow doctor Giulio (Gabriel Montesi) and their shared connection to nurse Anna (Federica Rosellini) adds a layer of personal drama.Alessandro Borghi anchors the film with a deeply empathetic performance, capturing Zorzi's internal struggle between duty and despair. Gabriel Montesi provides a nuanced contrast as Giulio, whose methods and ideals clash with Zorzi's, while Federica Rosellini delivers a restrained yet compelling portrayal of Anna, embodying both strength and vulnerability.Amelio's direction is poignant, emphasizing the human cost of conflict over the spectacle of war. The stark, muted cinematography reinforces the film's somber tone, while the understated score allows the weight of the narrative to speak for itself. The screenplay, co-written by Amelio, Carlo Patriarca, and Alberto Taraglio, deftly balances personal stories with broader commentary on the futility of violence and the fragile hope offered by compassion.Though occasionally slow-paced, Battlefield resonates as a powerful meditation on the absurdity of war and the resilience of the human spirit. Its themes of loss, survival, and moral ambiguity feel both timely and universal, making it a poignant entry in Amelio's filmography.Rating: 7/10 - A heartfelt and thought-provoking war drama that lingers in the mind.
