Summary As Nazi forces encroach on his small village in present-day Belarus, teenage Flyora (Aleksei Kravchenko, in one of the screen’s most searing depictions of anguish since Renée Falconetti’s Joan of Arc) eagerly joins the Soviet resistance. Rather than the adventure and glory he envisioned, what he finds is a waking nightmare of unimaginabl...

It suggests that a war’s horrors were the ultimate unassimilable experience of the shadowy depths of the human mind.

By Pat Brown FULL REVIEW

Movie Nation

Even if the acting and sound make it dated, they don’t blunt the provocative anti-war message Klimov and his crew were getting across.

Francois Truffaut once said "There is no such thing as an anti-war film". But then, he never saw this film, did he? If I had to summarize my experience during this in one word, it would be "destruction".

Probably one of the best if not the best films about WW2, and one of the most unnerving and scary films ever made. It depicts war and the life of ordinary people during it the most cruel and realistic way possible, and it certainly does leave a mark on one's perception of the topic.

This is just one of the best WWII movies. A short episode of the life of a teenager who learned the horrors of war and the death of all his loved ones. A must-see, like Schindler's List.

One of the best, most disturbing, harrowing, unnerving and impactful movies I have ever seen. This is a movie that drags you through hell. It's painful. It's hard to watch. In the best way possible. This is a movie you don't recover from. It leaves you speechless. It leaves you shaking. This is a masterpiece, and it's not for the faint of heart.

Have people who think that war is a mathematical thing watch this movie and slam the harsh realities in their faces. As I watched, I thought I was there and I was very nervous. It contains awesome acting and scenes. I would say it's the most realistic war movie I've ever seen. I loved the last sequence!

(Mauro Lanari) When the horrors of history become an apocalyptic metaphor of metaphysical evil, and when the soteriological hope consists in finding something healthy, salvable and salvific not in Hìtler (who killed people already born), but in his mother (who sentenced to death people not yet existing)."I must not describe the famous sequence at the end. It must unfold as a surprise for you. It pretends to roll back history. You will see how. It is unutterably depressing, because history can never undo itself, and is with us forever" (Roger Ebert, 16 June 2010). Yet in the biblical context chosen by Klimov for his movie, always in Chapter 6 of the Apocalypse, verse 14 states: "the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up" (6:14 || Isaiah 34:4).

Incredibly filmed, some truly visceral and haunting camerawork. The portrayal of the **** was one of the more brutal and terrible ones, they were treating the eradication of the village as if it was a party.
