The 1993 film with Thomas Kretschman is absolutely fantastic. Obviously not an easy watch, but great. It's from the German side, and it's got this unique sense of doom running through it, as if the characters know they're on the wrong side of history, but also know they can't stop. It manifests early on, even when they're on leave in Italy. It also has a tank assault that's one of the best battle scenes ever filmed. On a completely unrelated topic, there was some possibly german film, possibly pre war, that showed a full scale tank battle using hundreds of real tanks. I know that's an impossibly vague description, but does anyone know?

Sinteres posted:I loving loved this movie, and laughed several times. People probably will leave it feeling like they know more about Soviet history than they really do, because there are definitely some inaccuracies and things that are exaggerated or underplayed, but as a dark comedic movie using the Soviet Union as a backdrop, it was tremendous. Jason Isaacs did steal the show, but the surprise for me was how good I thought Tambor was as Malenkov. Tambor is pretty consistently amazing, it's a real pity he's such a piece of poo poo.
