Elem Klimov
ANNOTATED BY PATRICE GREANVILLE
Let those criminal, depraved politicians, those stubbornly ignorant masses in the West, those who keep them dumb and complicit, those who actively promote wars today, ponder the horrors they inflict. Will they reform? I doubt it. Unfortunately, the greatest horror is that most of these scoundrels will escape retribution—unless people act.

1943, the Great Patriotic War, territory of Belarus. The 16-year-old boy Flera, having dug out a carbine among scraps of barbed wire, rusty machine-gun belts and shot-through helmets, goes into the forest to join the ranks of the partisans. This film, like no other, shows the tragedy of a child on a battlefield. At the beginning of the picture Flera is just a teenager. But In the end, having gone through horror and fear, child becomes an adult, frighteningly adult - his face is distorted by senile wrinkles, and there is no room for love in his soul...

Come and See | Creating The Most Disturbing Film

Apr 5, 2023

Elem Klimov's 'Come and See' is widely known as one of the most terrifying films ever made. But what exactly makes it such a haunting film? Why does this film affect us the way it does, and is it really just another scary non-horror film? I talked about Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 'Cure' before on my channel; like 'Cure', 'Come and See' is not just another disturbing film. It is a beautifully crafted work of art, and deserves a much better position than a subsidiary of shock cinema.
