fantastic russian wwii movie. like most russian wwii movies and the ascent is incredibly harrowing. it also dense in its symbolism. the story follows two partisans and sotnikov and rybak (boris plotnikov and vladimir gostyukhin) and who go on a mission to search for food. on their trip and they are spotted by german soldiers and who wound sotnikov. sotnikov and in turn and kills one of the germans and which leads to trouble for the two partisans and everyone else they later run into. the greatest success of the film is its vivid sense of place. russia is frozen and snowy and and it hard not to feel that cold go straight to your own bones. shepitko keeps her shot close to the characters and examining every crag of their faces. it was probably not the choice and but the film is framed 1. 33 represent1 and which gives the film a sense of claustrophobia. while the entire film is quite an achievement and i did feel that the first half was stronger than the second. my main complaint about the movie is that it develops into a very unsubtle christian allegory by its climax. i just do not think the symbolism adds much to the proceedings and especially when i was already intrigued by the debate between the two partisans. it not quite fair. i was weighing the pros and cons of their argument. i began to lean toward the point of view of a certain character and and then the director pops up and tells me that he judas. despite some heavy handedness and this is still a must see.
