The Ascent
Why this pick
Like Come and See, it turns the Eastern Front into an ordeal of mud, fear and moral devastation, using stark imagery and an intensely subjective journey rather than battlefield heroics.

02
The Painted Bird
Why this pick
Its child’s-eye passage through wartime cruelty echoes Come and See’s accumulating trauma, with severe monochrome visuals and a deliberately punishing, hallucinatory atmosphere.
03
Ivan's Childhood
Why this pick
This similarly unsentimental portrait of a boy shaped by the Eastern Front pairs childhood vulnerability with dreamlike, expressive imagery and an overwhelming sense of loss.
04
Fires on the Plain
Why this pick
For Come and See’s anti-war extremity, this follows a soldier through physical collapse and moral horror with a bleak, stripped-back realism that refuses consolation.
05
The Human Condition III: A Soldier's Prayer
Why this pick
Its prolonged confrontation with institutional brutality shares Come and See’s furious anti-war conscience, placing one vulnerable individual inside an inhuman military machine.
