Horizon

About This Movie

Horizon (1989) is an interesting take on the war genre, focusing on the emotional landscapes rather than battle sequences. You’ve got Nosrat and Ahmed, security surveillance divers, navigating not only the treacherous waters of their work but also the personal turmoil that war brings to their lives. Ahmed's disappearance casts a long shadow over his wife in Ahari hospital, and the film explores how war impacts relationships in a raw, often unflinching way. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for moments of reflection amidst the tension. It’s not flashy, but there's something striking about the practical effects used here, grounding the film in a harsh reality. The performances, particularly the emotional weight carried by the supporting cast, really pull you into their world. It's not your typical war flick, which makes it stand out.
