Notes: 11/7/10
From the beginning, I suspect this will be a tearjerker.
Impressive cinematography.
Interesting Russian point of view of WWII.
Simple story with some very emotional moments.
I can't imagine what it was like to be separated so completely from people.
Devastating in parts.
Thoughtful vignettes about separation, isolation, and reunion.
Review: B+
Thoughtful vignettes about separation, isolation, and reunion set in Russia during WWII. Simple story of a young Russian soldier taking leave from battle is full of some very emotional moments. It's difficult not to relate to the young man as he meets fellow soldiers, a potential love interest, and his mother, with often devastating results. The cinematography is nicely done.
