Great lyrical war drama, 22 September 2003
10/10
Author: NIKOS SONIC (1966nm) from MEXICO

One of the very best films of Soviet cinema,has little propaganda and a lot of sentiment, in a story that takes place during the soviet revolution. Boy meets girl, in the worst possible time, although, it is the war that unites them. They belong in different sides, but the new era makes their love possible. But duty comes before love in the Soviet cinema, so the end is sad but beautiful, and actually you can't imagine the film with a different ending. I don't want to forget that the cinematography is perfect and the artistic direction of the best kind. One of my favorites!
