No matter how many war movies you've seen, none can prepare you for this.
The Big Picture There are plenty of reasons that Soviet filmmaker Elem Klimov’s 1985 anti-war film Come and See is heralded as one of the greatest cinematic works of all time, merely one of them being that the film’s ‘climax’ is a 25-minute sequence that showcases one of the most sickening depictions of wartime Hell ever shot.
To be honest, though, knowing what takes place will not ease its impact in the slightest. Just prior to the climactic sequence in question, Flyora is left alone, having been separated from his troupe with fellow soldiers that he’s watched get picked off one by one, whether by distant gunfire, land mines, or aerial machine guns. It’s only in this sequence however that Flyora sees the true wrath of the fascist Third Reich up close.
If that wasn’t sickening enough, as the barn burns the soldiers leave a bedridden elderly woman hopelessly alone at a physically safe distance from the flames, forcing her to starve to death as she spends the rest of her days haunted by the sight of her deceased community. The choice that the occupants of the church have to give up their families for the sake of their survival is an important one, as it marks the perseverance of humanity throughout this unspeakable tragedy.
