Come and See
Soviet director Elem Klimov began co-writing the screenplay for “Come and See” in 1977. He waited eight years for approval from the State Committee for Cinematography (an actual thing that existed in Soviet Union times) due to the subject matter’s grimy naturalism and unmannered brutality. Luckily for war film buffs, Klimov was able to make his movie with no censorship, delivering a rarely told story about Nazi occupation in Belarus with horrifying, emotionally ragged acumen.
