Stunning and deeply sad Russian epic

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2000)

If someone tortured me violently and forced me to pick a favourite film it would have to be this. I love every minute of it, from the beautiful cinematography, great acting and direction right down to the forced labour worker on the train to Varykinow (i know that's not how you spell it - but I've always had a problem with russian). I love it. Everyone should see it.
