Come and See

Phew, I finally struck up the nerve to watch this. It would be flippant to describe myself as “thankful” I watched Come and See, but I am in awe of the visceral anger and the sensory experience I just had. The credits only just rolled, but I know I’ll be unpacking my thoughts for weeks to come. At present, the scene of the female SS officer sucking on lobster innards while Belorussians are screaming in anguish being burnt alive feels permanently engrained in my memory.  The most singular and unrelenting anti-war film that I have ever seen.  Criterion Challenge #16 - 1980s
