It is rare that I am this...I cannot help but agree. It is rare that I am this genuinely affected by a film. Often, the effect of a film that hits me this hard is entirely negative--I'm repulsed by it because of its extreme nature (cf. Salo). Here, while the film is brutal and terrible, it is affecting in an entirely different way. It's a film that I expect to stay with me for the rest of my life.<br /><br />Kravchenko's performance is a thing of wonder--one of the greatest and most empathetic performances I have ever seen in a film.<br /><br />Truly incredible. The look on Florya's eyes at the end of the film is the absolute definition of the 1000-yard stare.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6016265517485090511.post-38975593627895650712010-03-25T15:00:04.142-07:002010-03-25T15:00:04.142-07:00I look forward to hearing what you think.

Everything I've heard about this movie is praise. I've seen a small clip, but I don't think the part I saw did it any justice.<br /><br />I'm still excited to see Ascent too! I love movies!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
