OCTOBER 3: Russia's Children at War - 8.45 pm

Come & See

(Elem Klimov) 1985 USSR 142 mins M

Klimov's visionary war movie about a young, journeying partisan who witnesses a Nazi massacre in a Belarussian village, is a bleak & horrific coming-of-age odyssey that rivals & ultimately tops Tarkovsky's Ivan's Childhood. Tracing the boy's picaresque passage from wide-eyed enthusiasm to weary detachment, this is one of the last classics of epic Soviet cinema, remaining amongst the best, most finely nuanced & haunted accounts of WWII's Eastern Front.

Screens after Ivan's Childhood at 7.00pm.
