Probably you think the brutally raped blond girl was the same young Glasha who appeared in a forest sequence, but it isn't; actually the "blond girl" was an anonymous resident of the doomed village. She was the young mother who tried to save her child escaping through a small window. The toddler was thrown back into the building and dead in flames; the young mother was raped by the whole gang of Nazi subhumans, and was mentally broken - you could clearly see that. With all that infernal horror, it was a common occurence during the Nazi occupation of Byelorussia.

"when Floria went back to the village to find his mother and sisters, after we see the pile of bodies behind the house very very disturbing i almost had to turn off the movie."

The woman that got out of the church and which her kid was thrown back inside the church. (well that scene is bad enough, the way the german throws that kid, hope there was someone there to catch him)
the most disturbing scene was her being forced inside a truck full of soldiers, she later reapers with blood coming down her legs.
between that and burning to death or dying due to a graneda explosion, I thing staying in the church would be the best of the worst solutions available..
And of course, the cow lol.. while it dies -

When Glasha (well I think its Glasha) stumbles toward Florya with the whistle in her mouth with blood running down her legs
When Glasha and Florya are running and Glasha looks back to see the dead bodies
When Glasha dances on the suit case thingy
After the slaughter, when Florya finds that woman that was eating lobster, or whatever it was, dying
When Glasha and Florya are making their way across the swamp, and after when Glasha screams at Florya with the "noise" making it hard to hear her
Oh and when the artillery hits, when Glasha and Florya are in the forest, again, with the "noise"
lol so much with Glasha and Florya -

I`d have to say the scene where the Germans burn the barn was the most disturbing, especially when you see the barn doors shaking. That said I had to laugh at the German who dropped the grenade and nearly killed a few of his guys, shame he managed to pick it up and throw it in time.

Yes, the people desperately trying to knock down the door was a very hard hitting scene, but I also had a hard time getting rid of the noise in my head of the screaming from within the barn when the soldiers were throwing in grenades.
Also, the facial expressions and the wordless interactions between Floria and the girl (forgot the name) in the village when he's trying to find his family.
This is not the angle of the dangle!! This is not the angle of the dangle!!!! -

I actually thought the most disturbing scene was the Hitler scarecrow..it seemed to represent the Russian peoples total obsession, addiction, dependence and hatred for the brutality that had befallen them..and in a comical cartoony way.which made it all the more disturbing

i must add that watching interview with Elem Klimov, he said that there was so much more he could add to the film but it would of made it impossibly painful to watch.
He red book which was compiled by 3 men who went Belarus villages to interview people who survived the war and witnessed cruelty and brutality of German solders.
