    It's literal soviet propaganda. "TASS" the media wing of the NKVD & KGB had a heavy hand in the film's creation and production.

    I've never seen this,but there was a show\miniseries shown in the US during the 80's that showed the aftermath of a nuclear war.Can't remember the name.As a young kid during the 80's i definitely remember the fear of a war happening at anytime.

    Just watched Chungking express a couple days ago things I loved about it but I also felt a bit detached or maybe just not caring too much about the characters, glad I watched it he’s a very interesting director and I love his Visual style and just what he does with the camera definitely unique and one of a kind

    As great as Nestor Almendros was, half of the film (or more) was shot by another great cinematographer Haskell Wexler who got an 'additional photography' credit. Nevertheless, Malick is generally responsible for the look of his films no matter who the cinematographer is. And 'Days of Heaven' is possibly the most beautiful film ever made.

    " Die Spur der Steine " " Karbid und Sauerampfer " Both of these films portray the spirit of building something new after the war but also point out the pitfalls of stoicism and both were eventually banned in GDR.
