Fate of a Man

USSR 1959 | 103 minutes | Russian | Hebrew subtitles

WWII rattles Andrei Sokolov’s life – he enlists as a truck driver, falls into captivity, survives prison camp and manages to escape. “There are movements, modes of camera language and cutting that are extremely dynamic, unexpected, original. This is not an intellectual cinema… but emotional, expressionistic, lyrical; it takes you by the heart” (Jonas Mekas, Village Voice).
