Russian film from 1985. I just saw it recently and was completely blown away by it. The story follows a young Russian partisan during the second world war. It had an atmosphere I can't quite describe and the use of sound in the film was very innovative and moving. It's no typical war movie. Never seen anything quite like it. Highly recommended.

Saw it when it first came out and I've had it on DVD for years. Definitely high on the recommended viewing list.

I watched the trailer on the imdb link you posted, and it looks awesome!

any ideas on how i can find it? i looked on ebay and the damn thing is roughly $26 to 30 bucks! any websites sell these sort of films for anything cheaper than that?

i've never gotten much into buying foriegn films, so i don't know where to look but this one looks like its worth seeking out...

thanks for the suggestion by the way!

I found something at $18 it seems. Sent you a pm with the link. I cheap bastard who just rents myself so I can't vouch for anything.

I bought my copy by mail from Russia, can't recall from which store.

(I often buy movies from Hong Kong and Korea, and occasionally France, Japan & Russia).
