Not quite as good as Mikhail Kalatazov’s masterpieces The Cranes are Flying as it doesn’t quite have the emotional engagement of that film. But the visuals are every bit its equal with one or two shots that rank up there with the greatest shots in cinema history. An excellent film. 8/10

Essentially a film of two distinct halves, following a team exploring the vast expanse of Siberia, this is also a film that doesn't really pick up until the story moves from exploration to survival. The film has some great cinematography and clever camera techniques, involving extreme close-ups of characters as they track their movement in any particular scene. It is a shame that the characters are particularly difficult to warm to, which makes the first half of the film less involving, but it becomes a much stronger film as the characters attempt to survive and return home.
