This is one of my favorite movies of all time and part of it is because of the directing. The extreme expressionist close-ups and double focus shots. I could watch it muted and still enjoy the hell of it.
Any other films as gut-wrecking yet beautiful to watch?

You could try Andrei Tarkovsky's
Ivan's Childhood
from 1962.
This also shows the terror of the war (although not as gruesome as this one) through the eyes of a child. Tarkovsky lingers the shot, uses a lot of the woods and mud and has the same beauty in composition of the shots as
Come and See
. I would guess Klimov must've been inspired by Tarkovsky when he made this film. -
