⭐️ Red Star Cinema: films about the Great Patriotic War

As Victory Day draws near, we continue highlighting powerful Soviet films that capture the war through a uniquely Russian/Soviet lens — with all its trauma, sacrifice, and humanity.

"Come and See", 1985

Belarus, 1943. A teenage boy named Flyora joins the Soviet partisan resistance, believing he’s headed for glory. What he witnesses instead is a descent into utter horror. As the Nazi occupation scorches its way across villages and forests, Flyora is pulled into the unspeakable cruelty of war — losing not only his innocence, but his grip on reality.

"Come and See" is not just a war film — it's a cinematic experience. Co-written by war veteran Ales Adamovich and directed by Elem Klimov, the film was decades in the making. Adamovich, who fought as a teenage partisan himself, insisted that only absolute realism could do justice to the truth. Klimov agreed — and refused to sanitize anything.

To film Come and See, the production used live ammunition, not blanks. The lead actor, 14-year-old Aleksei Kravchenko, reportedly aged visibly during filming due to the emotional toll. At one point, he had to be hypnotized between takes to avoid long-term trauma. The film’s hallucinatory camerawork and unflinching realism were groundbreaking at the time — and still are.

Initially blocked by Soviet censors for its brutal honesty, the film was finally released in 1985, just before the Perestroika era. Today, it is widely regarded as one of the most powerful anti-war films ever made — not just in Russia, but globally.
