"Cranes are Flying"
The 1957 military drama, the only Soviet-triumph of the Cannes Film Festival, who was awarded the main prize - the golden palm branch. And he was mercilessly scolded Nikita Khrushchev, the main heroine displaced. Therefore, the triumph of ribbons in the USSR was reported very restrained, not mentioning either director nor the author scenario. Now this is the Golden Foundation of Our Cinema. In the center of the plot, the tragic story of two lovers, which separated the war. And the emphasis was made mainly on the fate of Veronica, who did not wait for the groom from the front who had a living for this and trying to arrange a life in the realities of the 1940s. Indifferently follow the events on the screen, it is impossible, so it is better to prepare in advance to empathize to tears.
"... And the dawns here are quiet"
There are two films with the name: the original 1972 and remake of the 2015th. And here the classics nominated at one time wins. It is difficult to replay Olga Ostrumov, Elena Drepeko, Catherine Markov, Irina Dolganov and Irina Shevchuk, who literally become their heroons at the time of filming. The film tells about how girls together with their elder track and try to neutralize German saboteurs in the forest. If when watching "cranes" you can still do the stock of nasal scarves, then "dawns ..." is determinedly impossible to watch without Valerian - the scene of wartime was so realistic.
Zoya
The film of this year is still in cinemas and is one of the leaders of the rental. However, they criticize it mercilessly. Basically for the unreliability of the material. Like, the motive pushing the heroine on the feat. Yes, and did not instruct the comrade Stalin partisan-saboteurs personally. However, with all the shortcomings, refreshing the history of Zoe Kosmodemyanskaya. Recall briefly: in 1941, the combat group, which included Kosmodemyanskaya, received an order to burn 10 settlements. Zoya managed to set fire to only three houses, after which it was captured. She was tortured and then hung. The title of Hero of the Soviet Union was honored.
"DOLDA"
The scandalous and at the same time brought by critics the film of Cantemir Balam 2019 is not exactly about the war. He is about her consequences and how two female front-line teams are trying to adapt to a new peaceful life in the devastated Leningrad. The tape fell into the "Oscar" short list (but not in the final list). In addition, "Dilda" recognized the best film in a foreign language in 2020 according to the Association of Film Crims of Los Angeles. They noted the ribbon and in Europe - the prize for director in the program "Special view" in Cannes and there - award-winning critics. This movie is worth seeing not only to find out why there are so many noise around it, but also to understand how, perhaps, after the war, many women who are accustomed, in essence, live again.
"Toughie"
Not always films about war are dramatic. No need to confuse a movie of 1967 with a franchise that made Bruce Willis legend. So, here is the story about the relationship of a man and a woman against the background of military events. After the injury of Ivan the Terrible, they are prescribed by the commander of the female air defense unit. And of course, there is that the same ... the same girl who annoys more than others. It is with her terrible falls into the rear of the enemy and is experiencing a lot of incredible adventures. If you want to watch a movie about the Great Patriotic War with a happy ending, then it is he.
