  Come and See 1985

  ★★★★½ Watched 24 Mar 2020

  Film #21 of 30 in my 2020 March Around The World Challenge
  ============================================================
  Idealism soon evaporates due to the grim realities of a cruel and evil foe. A hyper-realistic exploration of the Nazi invasion of Belarus featuring more mud and blight than a Tarkovsky film. I swear that Florya's hair turned more grey as the film progressed which coincidentally matched my mood by the end. A highly affecting piece of art.

  A documentary, a dramatization, an editorial. I’m not a big fan of animation, but the quality and artistic approach here was breathtaking. Great effort.
