About this deal

In case you are wondering, it is the need for raw human emotions, which digital technology can deliver on demand). Most notable is the inclusion of three of the five parts of Flaming Memory, a documentary series by Belarusian filmmaker Viktor Dashuk that covers the Nazi horrors inflicted upon Belarus during World War II.

As Nazi forces encroach on his small village in Belorussia, teenage Flyora (Alexei Kravchenko, in a searing depiction of anguish) eagerly joins the Soviet resistance. Klimov refuses to sanitize or sentimentalize the conflict that in his native language is known as the Great Patriotic War. This new digital transfer was created in 2K resolution from the 35mm original camera negative at Mosfilm. Dialogue may be the only weak element: in comparison to the everything else it comes off incredibly flat and does stick out compared to every other aspect of the track.

Criterion gave this a new 1080p HD transfer with its original mono soundtrack and tons of new and vintage extras.

And yet, in a crucial sense, there’s hardly a more clear-sighted or realistic fiction film about World War II. Though it makes use of a number of classical pieces, the film’s main “score” makes use of the sound of a droning plane (I always assumed it was a reference to that ever-present threat hanging over the film’s protagonist) and it’s mixed at various levels, depending on what’s appropriate at the moment, and it can pack an incredible punch at times.Cinematography: If cinematography can be seen as packing a collection of memorable images, this one is top drawer material. Claude Lanzmann's 10-hour documentary Shoah captured perhaps the most visceral stories from all aspects of life from that time, but it's with Soviet film director Elm Klimov's 1985 film Come And See that some of the most disturbing visuals are shown that have capsulated the Holocaust in a strikingly visual way, similar to the recent film 1917, a vision that is not soon forgotten. In archival interviews from 2001, Elem Klimov, actor Alexei Kravchenko, and production designer Viktor Petrov discuss the grueling experience of making the film. First they have recorded an excellent 10-minute interview with director of photography Roger Deakins.

Item as described and will work for my game, arrived well packaged and protected and in the new condition advertised. Rather than the adventure and glory he envisioned, what he finds is a waking nightmare of unimaginable carnage and cruelty—rendered with a feverish, otherworldly intensity by Klimov’s subjective camera work and expressionistic sound design. Glascha (Olga Mironova), a lovely young girl, befriends him, but the two are caught in the midst of an air raid which leaves Florya nearly deaf. It’s a cinematic simulacrum of the overwhelming, discombobulating sensory experience of war that would have an influence on virtually every war movie made after it.By rejecting non-essential cookies, Reddit may still use certain cookies to ensure the proper functionality of our platform.
