The Bread of Love

1953 · 90 min

A cold, patient descent into hopelessness, where snow, silence and distant gunfire press in on you as much as on the men.

Overview: Four Swedish volunteer soldiers are trapped in Russia. In front of them lies the front with enemy outposts and patrols, behind them the enemy minefields. Hope to return to their own lines decreases each day. Corpses of fallen, "dead of cold and hard as iron", forms the macabre landmarks in the winter landscape. Nearby is a burnt Russian village.
How it feels: Bleak, tense, melancholic and earnest. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Survival, war, isolation, death
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
