Arguably the first masterpiece of post-Stalin cinema, "The Cranes Are Flying" combined several cinematic trends, such as the choice of the World War II for hero-images, and the preference for private emotional truth over political rhetoric. This study analyzes the film in depth.
Arguably the first masterpiece of post-Stalinist cinema, "The Cranes are Flying" is an intersection of politics and art. A product of Khruschev's "Thaw", its sympathetic portrayal of human beings affected by World War II, and its highly individual style won awards worldwide.
