The last epic of Marcel Ophuls is one of his most structurally complex. Shot during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, it includes startlingly frank discussions with French, American, and British journalists as well as participants from all sides. By interweaving a contemporary train journey through the Balkans and extracts from films such as His Girl Friday (Howard Hawks, 1940), Ophuls transforms The Troubles We've Seen into an ambitious reflection on documentary, shifting media environments, and the relationship between cinema and history. With English subtitles.
