Director Statement
With War Trap the desire was to
approach the "second war film" from a different angle by mixing two
very distinct genres, the claustrophobic closed eight as had previously done
other films like "Buried" and Survival in wartime. Through this story
of brotherhood, of struggle for survival, the film traitors above all of man in
conflict and highlights what war brings out of humanity in this violent and
terrifying context. The narrative structure is constructed as a parable of
existence, from birth to death, with all the torments and obstacles encountered
throughout a lifetime, this trajectory being particularly condensed for all
these young soldiers released in this terrible period that was that of the
Second World War.
Composer Statement
The mix of genres addressed in
War Trap was also defined in the soundtrack. Confinement, tension, fear and
panic are underlined by more synthetic and dark themes, usually reserved for
genre or anxiety films. These sounds are counterbalanced by slightly more
organic touches (piano, violins) in moments when sadness, melancholy or hope
are reborn. Gradually, when the plot leads us to a survival in the middle of
the confrontations, the themes become deliberately more symphonic and epic
taking up codes more typical of the war film.
