Heartbreaking and phenomenal cinematography (not simply for 1957 but even compared to modern film).

this is a great movie , they don't make movies like this anymore, it is a masterpiece.

Easily one of the best films ever made.

At mark 30:35, how on earth did he get this shot done? It moves and is perfectly focused on Veronika's face. It is decades before it's time, before steady cam technology.Incredible.

A memorable and great movie. I loved Tatiana Samoilova’s play . I saw this movie in 1958 in my home Town Rasht, Iran which is near the Caspian sea and 7 hour with a steam boat to Russia. It took a while for this movie to be translated to farsi and be played in the local Theatre. It cost me 10 cents to buy a ticket and watch it carefully. I still remember the marching music for draftees going to tbe war. It was so sad to see that he got killed so quickly . They were so in love and met each other with passion . Even though it is very hard to understand Russian language but her singing and movement leaves a sweet memory in your mind. Uncle David- Houston

Such memories 👍🏻

Nothing, absolutely nothing to envy any other film from this genre and era. I think that more than being about war, it's about the people who live it, suffer it, and find the strength to go on. Very authentic and inspirational, thanks and greetings from Chile 👋

Thank you for making this film available. Russia makes brilliant films.

I am learning Russian and I wanted to see Russian movie. I searched for the best Russian films of all time and this was on the list. I am SO happy I found it. I will watch it again and again. It is a rich and beautiful film. I felt like I was there, sharing the the feeling of Veronica. What a sad but sweet ending. This is a film I will tell everyone about!!! Thank you for sharing it.

I agree, one of the essential films about the war and what it did to young people. This is as powerful as "Ashes and Diamonds" or the Finnish classic "Unknown Soldier" and a very bold film at the dawn of the post-Stalinist thaw. Wonderful acting, direction and not least amazing cinematography. The scene of Boris' death is one of the most powerful and resonant death scenes in all of cinema, expertly crafted and played and...one that really hits you in the gut, especially seen in the theatre.

Such a heartbreaking movie. Terrrific! I'm so late (at 50 now) yet so overwhelmed to watch it today. History has proved that duty is superior to love.

Bonjour Michel. Votre commentaire est superbe. Moi aussi, j'ai vu ce film avec mes parents en salle à sa sortie en 1958. Il m'avait profondément impressionnée. Le jeu et la beauté typée slave de Samoïlova avec ses yeux en amande, et la mort de Boris , scène inoubliable, qui tourne en mourant autour de ce boulot et qui voit son futur qui vient de lui échapper...son mariage avec Vénonika, son père si heureux avec sa bouteille de vin, et ces" cigognes" au début du film et à la fin...C'est un des plus beaux fims de l'histoire du cinéma. Tatiana Samoïlova est morte assez récemment le jour même de ses 80 ans. Un détail amusant qui me fait rire. Le titre en russe Letjat juravli n'a pas pu être traduit exactement en français, en effet juravli ce sont les grues ! La traduction exacte eût été Quand passent les grues...Nous comprenons aisément que le titre mieux adapté à la langue française a été Quand passent les cigognes, titre qui ne prête pas à confusion...et qui même fait rêver...Bien à vous.

The crane is a symbol of soldiers. I heard a story that they return in the form of cranes. The song of the crane in Russian folk music Журавли (canines) is not used in this movie, but I believe that listening to this song would deepen the meaning of the movie even more. "спасибо"

Yes, a symbol of killed soldiers returning as cranes. A very moving song. I wonder why they did not use it in a movie with the exact same title.

Thanks for uplaoding. I saw this film twice at the Mosfilm site. Along with Churkai's "Ballad of a soldier", this film is one of the greatest films about war.

Wonderful to see this, thank you!

THIS FILM is enchantingly beautiful from the very start. My jaw has been dropped the whole time and already (20 minutes in) it feels sore LOL. The Cranes are Flying is like viewing Rome Open City (yah, it's that good!) but with mind-bending camera work which reflects, first, what one sees in a film like "Green for Danger" (I have in mind the scene when Mark rapes Veronika during the bombing). Second I think we see reflections of French masterpieces like "400 Blows" and the closing scene of "Rififi" when Veronika is running faster and faster (before she saves little Boris). And all the fast-moving side-panning camerawork that follows her (and to a lesser extent Boris) through unimaginably thick crowds of people (remarkable!) features every human emotion under the sun. It's in Rosselini's second film of the venerated war trilogy, Paisan, when a viewer goes to the front of the hot war, I believe (haven't yet seen it, I confess, but Rome Open City is one of my absolute favorite films). But the point is that you have that here, too, in Kalatozov's masterpiece: he gives the viewer an authentic sense of the front and what Boris experiences before his terrible demise. Then we move right back to Veronika's world. But what was I saying? Ah yes, all those whirling images going by kaleidescopically, whether running or in a train, say. How this movement enhances the tremendous vulnerability of the protagonist in all these examples is perfection with a capital PERFECTION. =) I also feel that it gives the film as a whole a feeling of movement that corresponds to how Veronika holds out hope till the very, very end that Boris survives. An impeccable work of art. A must see. Sublimely beautiful.

I'm impressed by the subtitles' quality! Thanks, Mosfilm. Yes, Russian is my mother tongue, but I watched this version to check if translation is good.
