I Never Feel Like Eating After Only One Glass

A WWII Soviet soldier is captured by the Nazis but strives to escape and return home to his family.

Another of those great Russian war films from the late 50s/early 60s, which, as with Japan, seems to have been the nation's best era for cinema. The quicksilverlike photography is predictably superlative, and there are solid performances all round, especially from the lead, Sergey Bondarchuk, who also directed the film.

There's a number of clumsy transitions between scenes in the last half hour of the film that don't really work, and it perhaps runs a little out of steam once he has escaped, but that's about the most I can come up with in terms of criticism, and the final impression one takes away is less of battlefields than the healing, rebuilding and moving on from them that has to take place afterwards.

Well worth watching if you're in the mood for a 90-minute war epic, alongside The Cranes are Flying and Ballad of A Soldier.

suffering?

This first directorial effort from actor Bondarchuk (mainly known for his monumental War and Peace) shouldn't have starred the director. His ruddy countenance didn't convince me one bit he suffered through all the mishaps in his life during the Great War. Furthermore I found it very hard to believe the Germans went to so much effort to save the lives of these Untermenschen. There were good performances though and it is shot beautifully.

Watch instead Come and See (Idi i Smotri) for a shattering experience of the Great War.

impressive

a Sholokhov adaptation. powerful and honest. a Bondarchuk gem. and map of a war. it is a great Soviet film. not only as artistic work or testimony about elements of a period. not as sign of post Stalin evolution of art. but for silence of images. for the message after decades to its viewer. because the fate of man is, in fact, the fate of East Europe in last period of XX century. sufferance, pain and death. and delicate hope as freedom space. love as only gun against cruelty of a time. camps as metaphor for Nazi and Soviet system. fear, struggle for survive, guilty because innocence is only fiction. and sense of life, again and again, as fruit of battle against yourself. a film about life. pure life. without exception or pink ingredients. cold, bitter, strange but beautiful. if you discover force to remain yourself in middle of each storm.

Soviet POW's Belatedly Rehabilitated

The work is absolutely stunning visually, at times radical in its framing. It is perfectly understandable that since the film was made only 5 years after Stalin's death the political strictures under which it was made forced the director to be careful to avoid depicting the persecution suffered by returning Soviet POW's under his rule, but by focusing on the suffering they, and most particularly the protagonist, experienced as prisoners in German work camps and the steadfast and heroic endurance they maintained in the face of cruelty and hardship he is completely successful in politically rehabilitating them as patriots, both for their contemporaries and for Soviet posterity. A beautiful and at times quite moving film. Highly recommended.

about memories

the novel by Sholokhov. the performance of Bondarchuk. the wise script. the close-up. and the life of a man who seems be only new Job. a film who impress not only for the drama but for its profound poetry of small details. a confession. and the hope. the war's traces. and the future as new beginning. it is part of a long chain who defines the Soviet cinema as artistic treasure. it is, in same measure, fruit of a political situation. but, more important, it is a fine work. because it reflects human feelings, duties and pain out of ideological circle. because it is an universal story. and one of beautiful examples of high cinema. that could be all. not a great show but useful exercise about the force of art. and, sure, for the Eastern public, a travel in history, against wars, crisis, disasters. and cases of survive.

Citas
Sokolov: [Snaps to attention] Prisoner Sokolov reporting as ordered.
Muller: So four cubic meters is too much to quarry, eh?
Sokolov: It is, Commandant, far too much.
Muller: And you need only one cubic meter for your grave, right?
Sokolov: Yes, that's quite enough for a grave. Even there'd be room to spare.
Muller: I'm going to do you a great honor. I'll shoot you with my own pistol.
[Gesturing with his gun]
Muller: Let's go into the yard.
Sokolov: Whatever you say.
[Turns sharply about face]
Muller: Have a drink before you die, Russian Ivan. To the triumphant armies of the fatherland.
[Officers around the table stand for the toast]
Sokolov: [Places his drink down on the table] I appreciate it, but I'm not much of a drinker.
Muller: You refuse to drink to our victory?
[Goes to the table, returns with a piece of bread]
Muller: Very well, then. I propose you drink to your death.
Sokolov: To my death and my release from this torment, I will drink.
[Drinks entire glass of vodka in one draught, places the glass on the table and the bread on the top of the glass]
Sokolov: I'm ready now, Herr Commandant, come on.
Muller: Have a bite to eat before you die.
Sokolov: I never feel like eating after only one glass.
Muller: [Pours another glass full, offers him the bread and glass] Don't be shy, go ahead.
Sokolov: [Drinks second glass dry, replaces the glass and bread] . Sorry, Herr Commandant, but I don't eat after two glasses, either.
Muller: [Officers at table, laughing and applauding: Bravo! It's incredible. He's had a whole bottle without eating anything!. Commandant returns to table, slowly pours a third drink, filling the glass to the brim]
Sokolov: [Takes third glass and bread from the Commandant. Pauses, then drinks entire glass while staring at Commandant. Takes a tiny bit of bread, leaves the rest with the glass on the table]
Muller: [Ordering his officers to be silent] Listen here, Sokolov. You're a good Russian soldier. A brave soldier. I'm a soldier also. And I respect a worthy enemy. I'm not going to shoot you. This morning our invincible armies reached the Volga and have taken complete possession of Stalingrad. And to this marvelous news you owe your life which I generously give back to you. Return to your barracks.
[Picks up a loaf of bread and butter from the table]
Muller: Take this with you, for your courage.
