I loved it

Rating: 10/10 (15 March 2001)

What I liked the most is that this movie depicts the Russians, their situation, and mood very authentically. Desperate, without any choice, they had to withstand the enemy and survive.
The main actors sometimes look too clean compared to the ugly/dirty surroundings (I'd suspect they'd look like others), but this can be forgiven. The second plan actors performed brilliantly, I especially liked the the first appearance of Krushchev and last appearances Mrs. Filipova.
My score: 10/10
