A loving film tribute to Russian filmmaker Larisa Shepitko, who died tragically in a car accident in 1979 at the age of 40. This documentary by her husband, Elem Klimov, includes excerpts from all of Shepitko's films, and her own voice is heard talking about her life and art. Elem Klimov's grief-stricken elegy Larisa examines the life of his late wife—the film director Larisa Shepitko—through a series of direct-address interviews and photomontages, set against a mournful visual-musical backdrop. Typically, Klimov films his subjects (which include himself and several of Shepitko's collaborators) within a stark, snow-covered forest, its tangled web of trees standing in as metaphorical representation of a perhaps inexpressible suffering, the result of Shepitko's premature death while filming her adaptation of Valentin Rasputin's novella Farewell to Matyora. Interweaving home movie footage with sequences from Shepitko's work (Maya Bulgakova's pensive plane crash reminiscence from Wings takes on several new layers of resonance in this context), Larisa's most powerful passage is its first: accompanied by the grandiose final music cue from Shepitko's You and I, Klimov dissolves between a series of personal photographs that encompass Larisa's entire life, from birth to death. This brief symphony of sorrow anticipates the cathartic reverse-motion climax of Klimov's Come and See, though by placing the scene first within Larisa's chronology, Klimov seems to be working against catharsis. The pain is clearly fresh, the wound still festering, and Klimov wants—above all—to capture how deep misery's knife has cut.

在一名呼啸山庄战士的带领下，冲锋队面临着一项艰巨的任务:控制市中心的高楼大厦。坦克和装甲运兵车本应让任务变得轻松，但被大型迫击炮和无人机所掩盖的激烈抵抗却削弱了攻击的优势。战斗水平不断上升，远程炮兵发出了强有力的声音，任务一步一步地解决了。除了越来越少的人在靶场，当敌人决定摧毁高楼大厦时，任务似乎根本不可能完成。

影片以一个小男孩的视角描写了东欧“二战”期间的悲惨景象。小男孩的父母把他送到乡下避难，但与他失去了联系。男孩开始在各个村庄之间流浪。因为他的黑头发、黑眼睛，村民认为他是吉卜赛人，会给村子带来不祥，以各种方式折磨他。他曾被埋在土里，只有脑袋露在外面，乌鸦将他啄得伤痕累累。他目睹人们在暴力、堕落和无知的牢固链环中彼此吞噬。当他躺在铁轨上，让火车从自己身上呼啸而过，他体会到的只有饱受凌辱却依然幸存的快乐。影片在黑白光影下呈现出绝美的视觉质感，一出战争浮生录在魔幻的视角下就此展开。

This is story about a dentist with the talent of painlessly extracting teeth, and what happens to him as a result of being naturally good at his job. It is told with humour (much of it quite subtle, almost surreal, and in the background - imagine a street scene where everyone on the sidewalk on one side of the road walks in just one direction, and on the other side in the other), poignancy, and a frequent breaking of the 4th wall between the movie and the audience (think of what happens in Shakespeare's plays, and you'll be close). It also features some songs by Novella Matveyeva, a famous Russian singer-songwriter (her songs are sung by the leading actress).
