Found out about this one after searching here. Picked it up this weekend on DVD, and watched it tonight. Absolutely brilliant---the scene at the end with the mother is very touching---almost heart-wrenching. The only part I found lacking was the attack on the train. I am seeking out "The Cranes Are Flying"---hope to get that one through the library through special order.I also watched "Die Brucke" ("The Bridge")---German film about a group of young teens who are conscripted and end up defending the bridge leading into their hometown. The acting was lacking (could probably be because the dubbed dialogue), but the production was top-notch.
