*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
This film was shot during the war in 1941 and was released in the USA in 1945 with an English language voice-over narration. The idea apparently was to display the hardships endured by our (then) allies just before they were to capture Berlin.
Nazis occupy a Ukrainian village and brutalize the inhabitants. The victims include a pregnant woman who is tortured in the most harrowing sequence. Surprisingly, for a Soviet film, Christianity is tolerated.
I saw a version at MOMA without subtitles or English narration, but I followed the action easily. "The Rainbow" is beautifully shot, and director Mark Donskoy was a strong visual storyteller. Recommended.
