Come and See

On the data. One film, and its reputation for being unbearable is accurate. Elem Klimov wrote it with Ales Adamovich, who had fought as a partisan as a teenager. Soviet censors blocked it for roughly eight years, objecting to what they called the dirt and the naturalism, before it was approved for the fortieth anniversary of the end of the war. Aleksei Kravchenko was fourteen. Reports from the production describe a hypnotist being used during some scenes to protect him, and Klimov has spoken about his concern for what the shoot was doing to the boy. His appearance visibly changes across the film and that is not makeup alone. Live ammunition was used in several sequences, fired over the actors. The massacre it builds to is based on events documented across Belarus, where hundreds of villages were destroyed with their inhabitants inside. Klimov made no further films. He lived another eighteen years and said repeatedly that he had lost interest, having already made the film he needed to.
