A series of live-action documentary-style interview pieces make up a significant percentage of the "movie," making this more of an art-film than a high-profile action/adventure movie. Still, it's worth watching if you're interested in something out-of-the-ordinary.

As a Russian born after the fall of the Soviet Union, I actually loved this more than I expected. I always wanted to hear about WWII in my country's perspective. This was a well done movie!

I just wished they did this in english.
