Reviews for The Cranes Are Flying
Considered a milestone in post-Stalin Soviet cinema, The Cranes Are Flying is a very good movie on its own terms, even when removed from a historical context.
A masterfully-photographed, deeply touching film, "The Cranes Are Flying" is a landmark in Russian cinema.
