Come and See (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

Or though its all in Russian with English subtitles, it was great to watch

Dramatic war film with graphic screen but realistically accriate

The Criterion relaease of this horrors-of-war classic can be recommended without reservation. I had the DVD years ago and this is a completely different class of home media. The 2K transfer sparkles, there are no artefacts as far as we could see on an HD screen, the sound is true and precise and the subtitles are clear and east to read. It was like watching a film on a screen in a good arthouse cinema, and there is no higher accolade than that.

This film is simply incredible. Criterion has done an amazing job restoring it to the highest possible quality and the supplementary material is also great. Films like this do not come along often. It immerses you into the horrors of war and feels as though you are experiencing it with the characters. But be warned - it is very harrowing so don't expect to be smiling afterwards.

I've been a big fan of this film since seeing it on UK TV about 10 years ago. This upgrade is amazing and looks so clean. Not a scratch on it. As well as that, this import bluray worked on my UK only bluray player without any fuss. I didn't even need to try it on my multi-region player - one that I bought so that I could buy this disc!

I've waited years for a remastered blu ray version (i have two dvd versions, the picture quality is no better than VHS), and it was worth the wait. One of the greatest (anti) war films ever made now has the picture quality to really show off its brilliance. The last 50 minutes has to be seen to be believed, a truly devastating indictment of the horrors that man can inflict on fellow humans.

Amazing film. Absolute must watch if your into ww2 or just great cinema. Great service from the seller too.

When I read the reviews of Come and See I imagined something between a Russian All Quiet on the Western Front and Saving Private Ryan. I couldn’t understand how a “masterpiece” of such harrowing depictions had completely escaped me. Now I know why. After spending what to me was an extraordinary amount of money to buy the blu ray I found instead of the film I had imagined, something more akin to an art house movie. Lots of staring at the camera with anguished expressions, some pointless symbolism, a cast of several, a budget so small that all the battle scenes are enacted off-screen and a finale where the supreme Soviet effort to roll back the Nazi onslaught is portrayed by the underwhelming device of running war newsreel backwards. If you can buy this for a nominal amount then have a look, if only for Roger Deakins commentary, but otherwise you may want to think again.

One thing is important to say: This film is not for the faint of heart. It is an incredibly intense and realistic depiction of the atrocities committed by the Germans in Belerussia, while also being a psychedelic horror film at the same time. Simply put, it's one of my favorite movies I've ever seen. Very highly recommended.

Great classic movie. The quality of the video is now awesome. The only let down is the classic stereo sound. If your going to go to effort to restore a classic movie, surely for a war movie they should have ugraded the audio to some surround audo format.

Es excelente estoy maravillado por fin pude tener esta gran obra de filmación , con una imagen y sonido espectacular debo decir que no cuenta con subtítulos al español solo en inglés pero no importa recuerdo haberla visto como en el 2004 en el canal C7 de tv abierta así que 100% recomendable porque estás películas ya no se encuentran fácilmente

The product came exactly as expected. Very good handling during shipping and all. Important note: This Criterion disc is one of few where the disc is playable both in Region A and B, regardless if it's an UK import or not. Thumbs up!

Amazing movie that everyone should see but it is scary.
