Ivan Denisovich

Gleb Panfilov | 2021 | 104 MINS
Russia | Subtitles
Among those who fought the Nazis, thousands of Russian soldiers who were caught and imprisoned met with harsh justice on their return home: many years’ hard labour. One of them was Ivan Denisovich Shukhov.

In Detail

More than half a century after Ronald Harwood adapted Solzhenitsyn’s great novel for Caspar Wrede’s movie starring Tom Courtenay, the veteran director Gleb Panfilov has filmed his own treatment, to stunning effect.

It is notable for its introductory action sequence, its subsequent intimacy and its punctuation by ravishing landscapes. Not to be missed.
