I saw it for the first time last night in a movie theater and thought it was one of the best anti-war movies I’ve ever seen. In places, it was a little schmaltzy for our modern tastes but the battle scenes and the young soldiers’ reaction were amazingly apt. And the cinematography was terrific for a film shot in 1930. It made me think with compassion about the poor Russian soldiers who are being sent to die in Putin’s war.

If you’ve seen it, what did you think about it? Expanding the question, what other anti-war movies have impressed you?
