Ung soldat

The Rifleman

...a lavishly mounted, lion-hearted first world war epic based on a book banned by the Soviets for 60 years.

...ambushes our ignorance with its intense introduction to what was at stake for the Baltic state during World War I.

The filmmakers are unafraid of the picturesque, lighting scenes so they resemble old-master canvases.

...finds new ways to convince the audience of the age-old saying, “War is hell.”
