Russian soldier Alyosha Skvortsov is granted a visit with his mother after he singlehandedly fends off two enemy tanks. As he journeys home, Alyosha encounters the devastation of his war-torn country, witnesses glimmers of hope among the people, and falls in love. With its poetic visual imagery, Grigori Chukhrai's Ballad of a Soldier is an unconventional meditation on the effects of war, and a milestone in Russian cinema. Criterion
During World War II, 19 year old soldier Alyosha gets a medal as a reward for a heroic act at the front. Instead of this medal he asks for a few days leave to visit his mother and repair the roof of their home. On the train eastwards he meets Shura who is on her way to her aunt. In those few days traveling together they fall in love. (http://imdb.com/title/tt0052600/plotsummary)
Grigory Chukhraj's poetic odyssey of an accidental hero on a six-day pass is a sentimental journey through the ideals of the Soviet state in World War II. Vladimir Ivashov is the fresh-faced signalman whose trip from the Russian front to visit his white-haired mother becomes a series of detours as he stops to help the loyal comrades, fellow soldiers, and salt-of-the-earth civilians (as well as a few shirkers and scoundrels) he meets along the way.

On a transport train he even falls in love with a pretty young stowaway, a feisty blond girl-next-door on her way to visit a wounded boyfriend. Delicately photographed and gently paced, this deliriously romantic road movie is undeniably Soviet in its celebration of patriotism and collectivism, but Chukhraj transcends politics with delightfully vivid characters and a deft mix of comedy, melodrama, and romance.

Thanks again, this film looks like one of the finest of the time...was Tarkovsky mentioning him?
I'll be looking forward to watch it...one day...my watching list now has hundreds of films, if not a thousand!
I dream to see them all one day, a dreams that never ends... :-)
You got me onto the memory lane.
My mother had sneaked me in the theater to see this movie when I was a kid. I saw it again years later on laser disc. It's a great movie.
Quite possibly the greatest European director after the death of Bresson.
Bergman thought he was not a director at all, just a creator of images.
That says a lot about the two colleagues.
For me Antonioni was a curious blend of Welles and Rossellini,
his dreamlike movies always reminded me of della Francesca, Cezanne and de Chirico.
He will be missed.
plz don't make your own opinion about two passed away yesterday...I'm surprised about you liked Antonioni but you didn't like Bergman...Maybe you need time to watch all of their films....
I think we have the moral right to be truthful about our opinions. Directors are not totems, they are artists and we are morally obliged to talk about their works, no matter if they are alive or dead. Antonioni himself didn't like Bergman and vice versa. Welles couldn't stand a Bergman film. Great directors as Feuillade, Flaherty, Naruse, Mizoguchi, Keaton, Bresson and von Stroheim died and the world didn't pay a notice. So, I think that excessive devotion and total oblivion are two sides of the same coin.
By the way, Bergman was very fond of Carne and Duvivier. These two directors are neglected today but, to my humble opinion, by no means they deserve to be considered inferior to Bergman. Also I prefer any Sjostrom or Mauritz Stiller film (also two great ignored Swedish filmmakers) to any Bergman Film. After all, that's my opinion.
As always great work FNB47!
Thanks
Cheers,
Fa
Never had heard before of this director.
Giving it a go solely based on your remarkable taste in flicks.
Q.: Is Grigori Chukhrai a kind of Ilya Ehrenburg for the moving pictures ?
(and regardless of of what I might actually think of the Kruschevian "thawing period" I duly appreciated the novel on it's own merits...)
llewis, I had seen this movie at a theatre when I was a child and watched it for the second time while I was taking above screenshots... yes, you're quite right it is "kind of Ilya Ehrenburg for the moving pictures"... :)
