An outstanding and all sense opening film.

Rating: 9/10 (16 December 2008)

Warning: May contain spoilers.
This movie truly opened up all the possible senses. A combination of great sound effects as well as exceptional cinematography made the audience feel as if he or she is actually in the film. This kind of experience is usually a rare one. The other great aspect of the film is acting. The main character truly opened up my eyes of what it is like to be present on a war front. The most fascinating part of the film -- is actually seeing the main character age. Considering that Elem Klimov did not use real actors, the acting performances were magnificent. Overall, it is a great foreign film that is must see.
