    About

    “One of the greatest war films ever made.” — J.G. Ballard (author of Crash)

    “Whatever the verdict, Come and See is among the most vividly realized war films ever made; a work of truly lacerating power and endlessly beguiling strangeness.” — Ari Aster (director of Midsommar and Eddington)

    SYNOPSIS

    Widely regarded as one of the most devastating anti-war films ever made, Come and See recounts the Nazi occupation of Belarus through the eyes of Florya, a teenage boy whose youthful dreams of heroism are gradually shattered by the unimaginable realities of war. Refusing both sentimentality and battlefield spectacle, Elem Klimov immerses the viewer in a world of escalating atrocity, where history is experienced through the bewildered perspective of a child struggling to comprehend the collapse of everything around him. Anchored by Aleksei Kravchenko’s astonishing performance and culminating in some of the most harrowing imagery ever committed to film, Come and See is a singular achievement: a war film that feels less like a historical drama than a waking nightmare, and a searing reminder of humanity’s capacity for destruction.
