Fedor Bondarchuk’s STALINGRAD, Russia’s official entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar, broke records earlier this month when it played in China. As Russia’s first film shot in 3D and IMAX, it is, like Ron Burgundy, kind of a big deal. Now, Sony has released the first full international trailer so audiences everywhere can get their first look at what the fuss is all about.
Based on the bloody battle for the city of Stalingrad during WWII, the film tells the story of a small group of Soviet soldiers who survive a disastrous operation against the Nazis. Moving away from many action-oriented war films, STALINGRAD focuses on the emotions of these six men and even takes on a romantic element when they discover a girl taking refuge in an abandoned house.
Check out the incredible trailer (it’s worth it, there’s fire and guns and a soldier shouting ‘fire’ then firing a gun):
STALINGRAD stars Thomas Kretschmann (known to international audiences for his roles in the THE PIANIST and KING KONG), Yanina Studilina and Philippe Reinhardt. It is set for international release in the near future, though no release dates have been announced.
