If you loved I Am Cuba, try The Cranes Are Flying
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Mikheil Kalatozishvili, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to I Am Cuba, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Cranes Are Flying is
Love blossoms in pre-war Moscow. Veronika and Boris promise to reunite before he heads to war. It ends predictably, with heartbreak and a bombed house.
