Ivan childhood

I really liked this film with the great camerawork. It bring in the real atmosphere of the war in the Russian winter. Throughout, there are different striking shots like the falling bucket, reverse shots filmed in water, the filming in the trees, and especially the final scene where Ivan overtakes the girl and runs along the edge of the ocean. The acting is this film by the characters is really good, and the story is striking enough that it still deserves to be heard again. The only thing i didn't like about this film is i Felt that it could have been a lot longer. But otherwise this is a film that i wouldn't mind watching again.

  1. You're right--all of those things you mention are especially striking. I too am particularly amazed by the reverse shot in the water when we are looking up from the well. And it's indeed a film that improves on repeated viewings.
