Eternal Winter

One of the best, if not the best, movie about the Gulag there is out there. Must see this. Gorgeous, real, and heartbreaking cinematography and acting. This movie will fill your life and heart with what it means to be human. Don't miss this movie!

EN: Eternal Winter tells a strong story from WWII, and the setting feels real. The idea was good, but the plot and acting didn't fully work. It's not Hollywood quality, but it's decent for a Hungarian film. It reminded me of the stories my grandparents told about the Nazi and Soviet invasions in Romania. It also made me think of the Romanians who died in the Soviet gulags, many in Siberia. Only a few ever came back. These memories made the film feel more personal to me. It's a nice film to add to any WWII collection, especially for those who want to learn more about what happened in Eastern Europe.

The movie is great, but whoever made it, forgot that the war was won in May and in Ukraine (they mentioned this region throughout the whole movie) during May there is no snow, especially in Donbas region. The shots of nature looked like Siberia. Should have done their homework before shooting the movie.

I have just seen the film Eternal Winter at the Raindance Festival in London and was absolutely awestruck by the accomplishment. I was spellbound from beginning to end and want to wish it all the best of luck with distribution and I hope it receives the recognition it deserves. I'll spread the word as much as I possibly can. See it if you get the chance.

I watched this at the Raindance Film Festival and it was the most powerful film I watched there. It deserved a shot at an Oscar. Incredible film making and acting, I left in tears having watched a true masterpiece. Watch this film
