Hell and Dorsum Again is a 2011 American-British-Afghan documentary picture show produced, shot, and directed by Danfung Dennis, about a sergeant in the United States Marines Corps who returns from the Afghanistan conflict with a desperately broken leg and post-traumatic stress disorder.
On January 24, 2012, the film was announced as ane of the five nominees for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.[3]
Background [edit]
Director Dennis worked as a war lensman in Transitional islamic state of afghanistan beginning in 2006, however, he became increasingly frustrated with photojournalism. He switched to films and new media to try to "shake people from their indifference to [the Afghanistan] war" and to present a "brutally honest feel of war". Dennis already had begun filming for some time when he was given the opportunity in July 2009 to spend iv weeks with the U.S. Marines Repeat Company, second Battalion, eighth Marine Regiment. The unit of measurement took role in Operation Khanjar, the and so-largest air operation since the Vietnam War. On the first twenty-four hour period with the Marines, he met Nathan Harris when, despite the high temperatures, Harris gave him his last bottle of water.[four] At starting time, the film was merely focused on the situation in Transitional islamic state of afghanistan and was going to exist titled Battle for Hearts and Minds. Parts of the sometime motion-picture show material were used for the segment "Obama'southward War" in the documentary series Frontline.
Dennis decided vii months subsequently that Harris would be the person around whom the documentary would revolve. At the Marines' homecoming, Harris did not become off the bus, at which point Dennis learned Harris had been wounded.[v] He made contact with Harris after this and invited Dennis to his dwelling. Dennis spent a total of a year with Harris and his wife.[6]
Production [edit]
Visual style [edit]
In half-dozen months, approximately 100 hours of footage was shot. Dennis and editor Fiona Otway worked closely in the formulation of the visual manner. They discussed their views about the state of war, where it became clear that pop images of state of war were at odds with Dennis' experiences.[7]
To create an "honest portrayal of war", Dennis combines the two storylines of the mission in Afghanistan and the situation of Nathan Harris in North Carolina in his documentary. Here he uses flashbacks to stand for the "disorientation" and "emotional numbness" experienced "leaving a globe of life and death" and "coming dorsum to a globe that seems mundane and superficial". According to Dennis is there "really only ane battle", at abode and on the field, rather than two dissimilar ones.[8] In another interview he stated that he worked to combine the "ethics of photojournalism", the role of pure observer, with the "narrative of moving picture" to create an "immersive, visceral experience".[nine]
Danfung Dennis processed many personal experiences as he did non discuss his footage with Nathan Harris. Harris got to sentry the picture show later its completion.[eight] [x]
Motion-picture show technique [edit]
The documentary was filmed with a Catechism EOS 5D Marking II in its entirety. This presented Dennis some challenges, he especially noted the sound, the paradigm stabilization, the focus and the fact that the camera overheated in about 15 minutes due to the high temperatures in Afghanistan. He built a custom camera stabilizer rig with advanced sound equipment and attached it to his body armor when he was non filming. In add-on, he focused the camera manually. Simply switching off the camera helped protect it against overheating. For his filming with Harris and his wife, he changed his equipment so information technology would be equally compact every bit possible and non intrusive.[4] [11] He explained in an interview that his determination to use the Canon EOS 5D Mark Ii immune him to combine the "aesthetics of photography" and the "ethics of journalism" with the "narrative documentary" to create an "impressive, comprehensive experience".[7]
In Afghanistan, Dennis used a zoom lens with a focal length of 24mm to 70mm with a maximum aperture of ii.8. Dennis founded the lens pick with the "diversity necessary to get broad and tight shots". He used ii normal lenses in Yadkinville: a lens with a focal length of 35mm with a maximum aperture of 1.four and a 2nd with a focal length of fifty mm and a maximum aperture of 1.2. Due to the wide aperture he could even film in depression calorie-free situations.[12]
Tone [edit]
There is no music in the classical sense in the film. Dennis used only natural sounds as groundwork music, which he picked upward in Afghanistan and in part significantly altered (come across musique concrète). A scene in the film, in which a hamlet is secured, is under-laid with actual sounds of state of war-fighting which were slowed down to 2% of their original speed. This results in a "persistent drone". Dennis used the same drone in the background of a chat between Harris and his physician regarding the dangers of painkillers. He tries [to blur] "the line between past and present through sound alone". Dennis stated that Harris' flashbacks "oft begin with a sound". He was trying to "convey what it feels similar to actually have a flashback".[13]
Dennis and the sound designer J. Ralph worked closely for the film, every bit did Dennis and editor Fiona Otway. Ralph likewise wrote the song "Hell And Back", heard during the finish credits. The performer of the song is Willie Nelson.

Chicago Sunday-Times critic Roger Ebert sums up, the film "presents [Harris'] new reality with a stunningly good utilise of video and sound editing". The final scenes were given an "emotional and stylistic power that we didn't see coming." He therefore rated the film 3 and a one-half stars out of four possible stars.[27] Linda Barnard gave information technology the same rating in a review for the Toronto Star, where she certifies Dennis to handle Harris' story, though this was approaches his subject "with a journalist'southward impartiality even equally he crafts an emotionally shattering story".[28] V. A. Musetto, a critic for the New York Mail, rated the motion picture 3 out of four stars and called the documentary "assuming." The footage was "often stunning".[29] Wesley Morris, film critic for The Boston Globe, said the picture is a "ingenious artistic disturbance". Dennis' flick is trying to do what has been created in simply a few documentaries: to alive in the psyche of the bailiwick. Nevertheless, the film don't pretend to know Harris is thinking.[30] Alison Willmore compared the documentary to The Hurt Locker in a review for The A.V. Society. Willmore called it a piece of work of cinéma vérité with "almost distracting beauty" and gives the picture the grade B.[31] Two reviews in the newspapers The Observer and The Guardian agree with the positive tenor. Philip French indicates the film was "painful and deeply moving" and Peter Bradshaw thinks the film doesn't agree back. Bradshaw gave it four out of five stars.[32] [33]
Chris Knight of the National Post had a mixed stance. He felt manipulated past Dennis' editing. The transitions are indeed "cinematically constructive" but felt "emotionally manipulative". By not showing how the war changed Harris, the movie only showed "two-thirds of the picture" was "crying out for a prelapsarian prologue".[34] Lauren Wissot, critic for Slant Magazine, criticized the editing technique and labeled it as partly "distracting and obvious", just the documentation is a "universal soldier's story".[35] Both critic gave the moving picture of two and a one-half stars out of 4 possible.
