Title: Both a historical drama and a grim prophesy
Product review: I saw this film as a university student about 40 years ago while studying Russian language and history. Two things come to mind when I reflect on this film. First the dark bass line that plays whenever the Teutonic nights appear in their demonic and inhuman horned helmets. Second, the battle on the ice, with horses slipping on the frozen surface of the lake. All the while the viewer reflects on the coming world war and the death struggle between the Russian Communists and the German Fascists--a struggle that will claim the lives of tens of millions and redraw the map of Europe and the global balance of power.
