Alexander says: “A harrowing look at war through the eyes of a young boy, it is not only the most powerful war film I’ve ever seen but also one of the most brilliant uses of subjective story-telling. Unforgettable.”
“It’s said that you can’t make an effective anti-war film because war by its nature is exciting, and the end of the film belongs to the survivors. No one would ever make the mistake of saying that about Elem Klimov’s COME AND SEE. This 1985 film from Russia is one of the most devastating films ever about anything, and in it, the survivors must envy the dead.” — Roger Ebert
