The Ascent
19771 hr 51 min
Ukrainian filmmaker Larisa Shepitko crafted one of the most fully realized and powerful films of Soviet cinema with THE ASCENT. Set in WWII and featuring stark black-and-white cinematography, the film follows two Soviet soldiers looking for food in the harsh snow-swept landscape of Belarus. When they end up captured in Nazi-occupied territory, they must choose between betrayal or death. Shepitko paints a poetic and deeply spiritual story, becoming only the second female director to win the Golden Bear award at the Berlin International Film Festival. In Russian and German w/ subtitles.
