Come and See is a 1985 Soviet film directed by Elem Klimov, following a teenage boy in Nazi-occupied Byelorussia who joins the Soviet partisan resistance and witnesses escalating atrocities committed against civilians as the German occupation grinds on. The film was made after Klimov spent nearly eight years contesting Soviet censorship of the original screenplay, and it depicts the violence of the occupation with a directness that departs from the more heroic conventions typical of earlier Soviet war cinema. Come and See is widely regarded by critics and film historians as one of the most unflinching war films ever made and one of the defining works of Soviet cinema's treatment of the Second World War on the Eastern Front.
