Yes, that last bit with the girl is the most disturbing of the whole thing. I get a sick feeling just thinking about it.Both of those kid actors did a hell of a job with some heavy material, no doubt.

for his role, he's literally sleep walking his way through most of it
I'd describe Come and See as the most powerful Anti-war film as it doesn't glorify the characters or their situation ( not the usual jingoistic dapper chaps doing daring deeds *rubbish* that constitutes war films )The Winter War ( Finnish film, Pekka Parikka dir. ) also falls into the same ( rare ) category of believability, I see Amazon have this on DVD, + concerns the earlier Russian invasion of Finland

I was thinking about picking that one up next...Also good is "The Red & The White" by Miklos Jancso. Not quite as graphic as "Come & See", but it explores the same thematic vein...
but well worth seeing; be warned, the original European VHS of Talvisota is 70 minutes *longer* than the DVD; that will undoubtedly compromise the film and the storyBefore I saw Come and See, Talvisota was my #1 war film, if anything Talvisota is a more evenly paced film than Come and See where the 1st 1/2 of the film nothing much happens....
