The Taurus Constellation (2003) — romance, war film. Directed by Pyotr Todorovskiy. Starring Ivan Zhidkov, Georg Zheno, Violetta Davydovskaya, Lyubava Aristarkhova.
Romance, War · 5.8/10 · 97 min · 2003
Todorovsky's film examines life in a provincial Russian town (that is too small to even appear on the map) just outside of Stalingrad during the famous WWII Battle. This is NOT a traditional war film, and the epic events of the battle take place almost entirely off screen. Instead, Todorovsky outlines a crude love triangle between three young people caught up in the harsh Russian winter. The stark winter settings, and the characters' struggle for survival, are what make this film one worth watching.
