Movie Reviews of Stalingrad

Movie Review: A winner cult movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is without hesitation, one of the most depictive and terrible War films ever made, because it doesn't just explore the used dramatic and painful events related with this bloody War, the most decisive encounter that eventually would result in what we might call the decisive breakthrough. The film in question focuses around the existence of six German soldiers, since their last rest in Italy until their terrible final.

The last image is worthy to become one of the most tragic finales in any War ever filmed. This was the same team that was involved in that cult movie "Das Boot" in 1980.

A must-see.

Summary of Stalingrad

It's tempting to call this harrowing picture a World War II version of All Quiet on the Western Front: both films take the perspective of ordinary German soldiers at ground level. Stalingrad surveys the misery of the battle of Stalingrad, the winter siege that cost the lives of almost one and a half million people, Russian defenders and German invaders alike. Not unlike Spielberg's approach to Saving Private Ryan, German director Joseph Vilsmaier rarely steps outside the action to comment on the higher purpose of the war, assuming the audience is aware of the evil of the Nazi regime. Instead, we simply follow a group of soldiers as they endure a series of gut-wrenching episodes, events which have the tang of authenticity and horror. Vilsmaier has a taste for symbolism and surreal touches, which only add to the unsettling sense of insanity this movie conjures up so well. --Robert Horton
