Come and See (1985) - 40th Anniversary Screening

This legendary film from Soviet director Elem Klimov is a senses-shattering plunge into the dehumanizing horrors of war, and we are celebrating the 40th anniversary of its release with a special screening this May!

Directed by Elem Klimov

Starring Aleksei Kravchenko, Olga Mironova, Liubomiras Laucevičius, Vladas Bagdonas, Tatyana Shestakova

Rated M Violence
142 minutes

Includes 15min intermission.

In Russian & German with English subtitles.

'As Nazi forces encroach on his small village in what is now known as Belarus, teenage Flyora (Alexei Kravchenko, in a searing depiction of anguish) eagerly joins the Soviet resistance. Rather than the adventure and glory he envisioned, what he finds is a waking nightmare of unimaginable carnage and cruelty—rendered with a feverish, otherworldly intensity by Klimov’s subjective camera work and expressionistic sound design.'

Nearly blocked from being made by Soviet censors, who took seven years to approve its script, COME AND SEE is perhaps the most visceral, impossible-to-forget antiwar film ever made.
