The Ascent (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

My second viewing confirmed this as a Masterpiece. Very important film made with strong moral conviction. One of the greatest movies about war.Larisa Shepitko is a serious talent and her presence in the supplementary material is inspiring - intelligent, talented, hard working, beautiful and articulate.This is one of Criterion's great releases - superb Blu-ray image and a wealth of supplementary material. Highest Recommendation. Don't miss this film!
