    There exists another movie with the same title – Ukrainian director Larisa Shepitko’s masterpiece, a Soviet movie produced in 1977. Larisa’s THE ASCENT is on my ten best films ever list. Unfortunately it was her last movie – she died in a car accident two years later.. WINGS is another notable 1966 Shepitko’s movie.
