This film is a B movie. The actors looks as if they hade benn hired directly from " Gone with the Wind " who was some kind of a A movie.
Bondarchuck must has seen the King Vidor film since he made from a skeleton a real film, the poor american actors, so fortunated they may be in money, never were touch by the grace of their Russians counterpart...
Poor fellows, they are strugling in a fake landscape, in faken words, in faken costumes, in not enough money for the real thing.
The poesie, the humanity and psychology , the camera... and every single shot so creative are at the antipode of the Russian film.
Save one think.
The only light...
But there I am no more neutral as Victor was...
Audrey, dear Audrey...Where are you?
