dionysus67

A major war drama in terms of the moral dilemmas and the range of emotions explored. Filmed in stunning, yet stark, b/w it coalesces two levels of narrative (partisan struggle against the Nazis and post-war trauma) with romance and revenge, conjuring gripping imagery of the ordeal of villagers and partisans, all in solid character development. Modernist techniques (visual/aural) add to this Klimov-like nightmare.
