Someone was asking why this film did not get an Oscar nomination? The political situation at the time, it is not in English or made by Hollywood ?
Personally, I am surprised that the Soviets allowed for the film to be made, in 1985 - most of their films were supposed to promote - in an aggressive way, the communism. Only positive messages were allowed.
I can only wonder what the director had in mind and what the Soviet censors signed off.
Also, the poster, how weird it is ? Like a message , warped into a nuclear colour.

It's close. I would rate
Apocalypse Now
higher, and Stuart Cooper's little-known 1975 masterpiece
Overlord
is a contender; but this one is certainly up there.

Entirely in agreement with you.

Agreed.
You can see why the director didn't bother making any other movies after this one.. He had already achieved the pinnacle of achievement in film.
