In 1933, the Technofilm film studio was located on Melnichnaya Street in house number four, which has been known as Lennauchfilm for 80 years of its creative activity. It had another name, Leningrad United Film Studio, which it received on March 30, 1942. It was then, in the square of the shelling on Melnichnaya Street, the cinematographers of the Leningrad United Film Studio were able to realize the great idea – to capture the whole truth about the blockade. In the spring of 1942, the footage of the defending city formed into the film "Leningrad in the Struggle", which showed the world an unprecedented tragedy in the history of mankind and the unparalleled steadfastness and heroism of the city-front.
Reviews
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
