Harrowing Russian wartime drama, recounting the devastating Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union through the experiences of a young boy in Belarus. Young Florya (Aleksei Kravchenko) is forcibly recruited by the partisans, who are fighting a desperate behind - the - lines battle against the German invaders. Exposed to scenes of vicious conflict and brutality, Forya stumbles through a blasted landscape, witnessing atrocities as the Nazis ethnically cleanse villages and towns. Disorientated after surviving a German bombing raid on the forest where he is hiding, Florya joins the female partisan Glasha (Olga Mironova), and together they set off to retrace their steps back to Florya's village. But what they find there is only more death and destruction, until Florya becomes completely numb to the horrors of war.

About this product
Product Information
Elem Klimov's stunning COME AND SEE is a relentlessly brutal condemnation of war hidden in the guise of a surrealistic coming-of-age nightmare. A physically and emotionally draining viewing experience, the film follows Florya (played brilliantly by Alexei Kravchenko), a 12-year-old boy living in 1943 Byelorussia. When he digs up an abandoned gun, Florya gleefully signs up with the Russian Army, looking forward to life as a soldier. But that fantasy rapidly deteriorates when the reality of the situation confronts him head-on. Abandoned by his fellow comrades, he stumbles across the weeping Glasha (Olga Mironova), a pretty teenager who has also been left behind. Together, the pair returns to Florya's village only to discover that everyone has been slaughtered Florya's mother and younger sisters included. The journey continues as Florya embarks on a mission to find food for the stranded inhabitants of a neighbouring village. He eventually lands in the middle of another German massacre, where the animalistic Nazis stuff the Russians into a barn and torch it, obliterating Florya's innocence completely. Klimov's unflinching masterpiece is all the more affecting because of the beauty of its imagery. Working on a variety of levels, COME AND SEE speaks both as personal statement and broad metaphor, making it a timeless, unforgettable achievement.Product Identifiers

engaging
A film from 1985, which Iv never seen before. its slow to start with but comes to the boil and shows the horror of war and how it affects people in desperate situations through the eyes of a young lad who thinks war a game.,Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Anti-war film, unsurpassed in its field.
If you see one 'war' film in your life, make it this one. A brutal and uncompromising look, through a child's eyes, at the horrific slaughterhouse that was the Eastern Front of World War Two. A grim but spellbinding insight into the clash of Nazi and Soviet ideologies and the resulting effects on the civilian population.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
