A realistic dramatic picture of war. Rare in its realism and atmosphere. Many thanks to the filmmakers for their hard work.
Alexey German Jr. Has repeatedly received high awards at the best festivals in the world. The director's father, Alexey German Sr., is a great director known for his stunning realism films of the 30-50s, the terrible Stalinist era of the Soviet Union. The son inherited and developed this style of realism and immersion in history. For a long time in the post-Soviet space, war films were characterized by aggressive agitation (propaganda) or the use of heavy themes to attract the public. In this film, the ugly truth about war and tragedy, without pathos and slogans.
Among other things, the strengths of the film are the excellent work of the production artists and real, authentic wartime equipment.
