The Great Battle (1969)
Directed by Yuri Ozerov, Julius Kun
Overview
Russian film director Yuri Ozerov’s most famous work was the five-part WWII epic Osvobozhdeniye (The Liberation) that was hugely popular in his native country—each of the first two parts was seen by 56 million people. Osvobozhdeniye (1967-1971), his biggest success, was notable not only for its impressive battle scenes but also for its attempt to show the war from the perspective of ordinary Russian soldiers.
