back to Ballad of a Soldier

Daniel S.

Once in a while, I get slapped in the face by a film, more and more rarely, I must confess. It was the case with Ballad of a Soldier. Lyricism at its best. Masterpiece.

This is a beautiful, empathic and thoughtful film filled with longing for what was only glimpsed.

Despite the fact that the film is completely unrealistic, it is a beautiful slice of cinema and Chukhrai did an amazing job given his restraints. Alyosha is noble in his naivety and his journey back to his mother is a study in morals and principle. When watching this film, crying is a definite possibility.

This film had me weeping more than any other war film I've ever experienced. Such glorious storytelling and commentary on the personal and humanistic effects of war. It gives me shivers just remembering it.
