1. Ivan's childhood (1962)

When Dantard Minsky submitted the script to the commissioning team of Moscow Film Studio, everyone thought that the film would tell the story of Ivan, a young scout, who lost all his relatives in the war and became the "son of the Legion". After the shooting, their mistakes became obvious.

Ivan's Childhood is not like a great patriotic war drama in any sense, because of its neurotic rhythm and the narrative perspective of a child whose mind is irretrievably hurt.

Moreover, when Soviet critics continue to discuss "childhood burned by war", only Jean-Paul Sartre dares to accurately describe the strange emotions aroused by this painting. "In the war, all the soldiers are crazy. This child monster is an objective witness of their madness, because he is the farthest. "

Tarkovsky's first feature-length film is one of his most successful commercial films, which sold 654.38+67 million tickets in the Soviet Union alone. Abroad, the film won the Golden Lion Award in Venice and the Golden Gate Award in San Francisco International Film Festival, as well as other awards in more than 65,438+05 different countries.

2. He Xiang (1957)

This is a story about two lovers whose happiness was destroyed by the war. 1958, The Flying Crane won the Palme d 'Or Award at Cannes Film Festival, and cinematographer Sergei Urushevsky and actress tatiana Samolova were immediately invited to Hollywood.

The film did not beautify the reality of the Soviet Union, nor did it depict a "strong man" facing a terrible war, lacking the sharp heroism and preaching unique to the films of that period. On the contrary, it shows the hardships of civil war and the lives of ordinary people with its own personal experience. This is a movie full of humanity, passion and bitterness, but it has a contradictory happy ending. This also symbolizes the beginning of Khrushchev's thawing.

3. War and peace (1966)

This epic film about Russian society during the Napoleonic Wars, based on lev tolstoy's novel of the same name, won an Oscar and more than a dozen other international awards. This is the first time that an Oscar has been awarded to a Soviet feature film, and it is also one of the most expensive films in history.

Bondarchuk re-created the novel according to Tolstoy's intention, so he shot it in four stages, which dragged on for six years. In fact, its rhythm is long and slow, which is where War and Peace is criticized.

But at the same time, even by modern standards, the scale of this series is impressive-thousands of people were hired as extras and the whole military unit participated in the filming.

4. Near the Garden of Eden (1992)

This Soviet-French co-production film was born out of the idea of making a documentary about Mongolian tribes. Amateur actors play the leading role, and there is only one professional actor in the whole crew.

Perhaps this is the reason why the film is so sincere: the journey of nomadic Mongols to the big city world has become a touching reflection on nomadic people and their traditional destiny. The film won the Venice Golden Lion Award, the Russian National Nika Award and the European Film Academy Award for Best european film awards, and was nominated for an Oscar.

5. The sun is burning (1994)

The event in The Scorching Sun took place on a sunny summer day in 1936. The whole country is celebrating the anniversary of the airship construction plan. However, an unexpected thing broke the quiet life of a meritorious officer.

This is the only Russian film that won both the Oscar (Best Foreign Language Film) and the Cannes International Film Festival. The filmmaker asserted that the film was not condemnatory, but immersed in the advanced drama of the lifestyle of the Soviet people. History, love, tragedy, passion, nostalgia, class hatred-there are many lofty dramas in "Burned by the Sun".
