If you loved Wings, try The Ascent
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 Larisa Shepitko, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Wings, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Ascent is
You're a Soviet soldier trudging through Belorussian snow, foraging for food. But capture leads to interrogation, and one comrade breaks. Shepitko's final film transforms stark black and white into shades of moral gray. The film lingers.
