I think it was mid-eighties. The film was rather new, when I saw it
the first time in 1987 (in DDR, btw, dubbed in German... ;).

There are some scenes with brilliant sound use. Like, when after
bombing you don't hear anything else but wheezing for many minutes.
And, when the main character visits his home in some quiet moment of
the war, you hear mainly the buzz of flies when he walks into the
house. The house is empty and the buzz rises. The boy (main
character) leaves the house and you see the cause of all those flies:
the whole village is slaughtered behind the house. You see only about
three seconds the bodies, but it feels much worse than any gore movie
with violence close-ups... It's the oppressing feeling in the empty
house, that does the trick...
> the movie is called something like "come and see" in english.
"Idi i smotri" in Russian and surprisingly it's not translated to
something surreal, it's just "Come and See" in English... ;)
