4.0 out of 5 stars Historical period drama of familial love and revenge, 9 Nov 2008

By	D. Elliot "Abolish the A.o.C." (UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Set in the wilds of Eastern Europe, around 1810, 'In the Arms of My Enemy' (French, with English subtitles) is an almost biblical tale of family loyalty and revenge between two pairs of brothers.

Jakub and his younger brother Vladimir (respectively around 19 and 17 years old - though, as always, inexplicably played by considerably older actors) are vagrants, living hand-to-mouth from whatever scraps of food they can beg or steal. Jakub is the tough older brother, a skilled horseman and fighter, as protective of his more sensitive sibling as a lion for its cub. At Jakub's urging, the pair join up with the Cossack Army - a means to food and shelter for the winter - where they are constantly being tormented by the other recruits.

Roman and his younger brother Elias are horse thieves. A parallel to Jakob and Vladimir, Roman is the patriarch of the pair, alternately demonstrating his tenderness towards Elias as well as his brutally protective jealousy; Elias is the sensitive younger brother, fond of animals, and his love for Roman leads him to accept the latter's domineering ways as a mode of affection.

The two stories collide, as Roman and Elias attempt to steal Jakub and Vladimir's horses. Honour must be upheld, and revenge is sought, entwining the pairs of brothers' lives and jettisoning them on a new path.

As a period piece, 'In the Arms of My Enemy' is superb - scenery, costumes, sets; all have a thorough ring of authenticity which offers an interesting narrative on a historical period and location that is infrequently encountered. The acting is also of a consistently excellent quality. The lack of sensuality is perhaps apt, given the setting. If a criticism was needed, it would be that the film is too short (85 minutes); as an 'epic' story, it could easily have withstood some further character development, and there is the occasional sense that overly-harsh editing was responsible for cutting some scenes that would have fleshed out the piece more.

Overall, a memorable tale of tenderness between brothers, family loyalty, and survival in a hostile environment. Recommended.

(DVD extras include previews, and an amusing (and completely unrelated) short film, Alice and I.)
