Russian Resurrection Film Festival has announced a special screening of Elem Limov’s renowned WWII film Come and See at Event Cinemas Brisbane Myer Centre.

This savage and lyrical fever of death, rage and terror, experienced through a child’s eyes – is the ultimate WWII film. The film follows young Florya who joins a group of partisans fighting the Nazis in Belorussia. Separated from his comrades and struck deaf by German artillery, Florya wanders a battle-scorched Russian purgatory of villages enveloped in brutality and slaughter. Florya’s journey takes him through a gallery of exquisitely poetic imagery and human atrocity.

Author J. G. Ballard declared Come and See the greatest war film ever made! Renowned Hollywood actor and filmmaker, Sean Penn says the film “is a masterpiece not only of filmmaking, but of humanity itself.” Watch the trailer here.
