Episode 3—Come and See: Subjectivity, Surrealism, and Storks
Update: 2021-04-28
Description
Of all the movies Frankee watched in this last year, the Soviet anti-war film Come and See (1985) was her favorite -- an odd thing to say about a movie that one Youtube commenter declared "makes Schindler's List look like Toy Story." Come and See is a coming-of-age story, an anti-war film, and a horror film that is an innovative, challenging, and realistically surreal descent into hell itself.
This week our resident expert in Modern Eastern European history talks with her sisters about the concept of an “anti-war” movie, film’s ability to bear witness, and the mythology of storks.
Warning: This episode involves discussion of murder, genocide, suicide, sexual violence, and animal death.
