If you want a pretty off the wall Russian war movie, I watched one called “The Edge”. A guy wants to get an old train engine back in action. There are some flashbacks to the start of the war and some Germans who got caught by surprise while they were in Russia. Pretty weird, but I liked the old trains.
And then there is “Come and See”. It’s not for everyone. It will haunt you.
“The Cranes Are Flying” is another good Russian film. The actress reminded me a bit of Audrey Hepburn.
have you seen “the train”with burt lancaster?
