Loved this movie in theater (saw at the art museum), have been looking for it in a modern format for decades. Thanks so much!
Esp if you’re a younger person, films like this one depict the grave and stark reality of the Soviet encroachment on the East European countries, and the price(s) paid for that status quo for 8+ decades.
