![Come and See (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31GDjMISEiL.jpg)
This legendary film from Soviet director Elem Klimov is a senses-shattering plunge into the dehumanizing horrors of war. As Nazi forces encroach on his small village in Belorussia, teenage Flyora (Alexei Kravchenko, in a searing depiction of anguish) eagerly joins the Soviet resistance. Rather than the adventure and glory he envisioned, what he finds is a waking nightmare of unimaginable carnage and cruelty—rendered with a feverish, otherworldly intensity by Klimov’s subjective camera work and expressionistic sound design. Nearly blocked from being made by Soviet censors, who took seven years to approve its script, Come and See is perhaps the most visceral, impossible-to-forget antiwar film ever made. Blu-ray special edition features • New 2K digital restoration by Mosfilm, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack • New interview with cinematographer Roger Deakins • New interview with director Elem Klimov’s brother and frequent collaborator German Klimov • Flaming Memory, a three-film documentary series from 1975–77 by filmmaker Viktor Dashuk featuring firsthand accounts of survivors of the genocide in Belorussia during World War II • Interview from 2001 with Elem Klimov • Interviews from 2001 with actor Alexei Kravchenko and production designer Viktor Petrov • How “Come and See” Was Filmed, a 1985 short film about the making of the film featuring interviews with Elem Klimov, Kravchenko, and writer Ales Adamovich • Theatrical rerelease trailer • New English subtitle translation • PLUS: Essays by critic Mark Le Fanu and poet Valzhyna Mort.

True events
Dramatic war film with graphic screen but realistically accriate

A harrowing microcosm of Russian partisan warfare.
A WW11 film from a totally different perspective than conventionally presented formats.

Spectacular. Encoded for both Regions A and B
This film is simply incredible. Criterion has done an amazing job restoring it to the highest possible quality and the supplementary material is also great. Films like this do not come along often. It immerses you into the horrors of war and feels as though you are experiencing it with the characters. But be warned - it is very harrowing so don't expect to be smiling afterwards.

Brilliant re-release
The Criterion relaease of this horrors-of-war classic can be recommended without reservation. I had the DVD years ago and this is a completely different class of home media. The 2K transfer sparkles, there are no artefacts as far as we could see on an HD screen, the sound is true and precise and the subtitles are clear and east to read. It was like watching a film on a screen in a good arthouse cinema, and there is no higher accolade than that.

Brutal film
I've been a big fan of this film since seeing it on UK TV about 10 years ago. This upgrade is amazing and looks so clean. Not a scratch on it. As well as that, this import bluray worked on my UK only bluray player without any fuss. I didn't even need to try it on my multi-region player - one that I bought so that I could buy this disc!

come and see. 80's soviet times movie
very bizzare at the beginning 20 minutes but got better in the late half. this is an anti war movie from the 80's based on the evil commited by german einzatsgreppen and a young mans experience of war and his struggle too survive the mental anguish and overcome the conditions to survive.

One thing is important to say: This film is not for the faint of heart. It is an incredibly intense and realistic depiction of the atrocities committed by the Germans in Belerussia, while also being a psychedelic horror film at the same time. Simply put, it's one of my favorite movies I've ever seen. Very highly recommended.

Great classic movie. The quality of the video is now awesome. The only let down is the classic stereo sound. If your going to go to effort to restore a classic movie, surely for a war movie they should have ugraded the audio to some surround audo format.

Es excelente estoy maravillado por fin pude tener esta gran obra de filmación , con una imagen y sonido espectacular debo decir que no cuenta con subtítulos al español solo en inglés pero no importa recuerdo haberla visto como en el 2004 en el canal C7 de tv abierta así que 100% recomendable porque estás películas ya no se encuentran fácilmente

The product came exactly as expected. Very good handling during shipping and all. Important note: This Criterion disc is one of few where the disc is playable both in Region A and B, regardless if it's an UK import or not. Thumbs up!
