Despite his disillusionment with humanity, Florya emerges from his experiences vowing to survive no matter what comes, a personification of resilience and dignity.&nbsp;Rather than the adventure and glory he envisioned however, what he finds is a waking nightmare of unimaginable carnage and cruelty, rendered with a feverish, otherworldly intensity by Klimov’s subjective camerawork and expressionistic sound design.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>After eight years of waiting for official approval,<i> Come and See</i> was finally released in 1985, and caused a sensation throughout the Soviet Union.&nbsp;It is perhaps the most visceral, impossible-to-forget antiwar film ever made.</div>DramaPT2H22M152026-06-20
