What Stalingrad Is About

A German infantry company is sent to the eastern front after leave in Italy. When they enter the city, winter is still weeks away. The film builds neither heroism nor guilt; as it proceeds the enemy, the command and the purpose fall away one by one, leaving only cold and hunger. It counts among the few German films to show its own army's defeat this bare. Joseph Vilsmaier directed, with Thomas Kretschmann in the cast. Parts were shot in the Czech Republic and Finland. Before watching: freezing, gangrene and executions are shown directly, and the ending offers no consolation.
