Russia d/ Andrei Tarkovsky
His first film (1960) follows the life/fate of a 12 yo boy working as a scout for the Red Army during WW2.
Many artsy flourishes elevate film above the average. Story was engaging throughout, with sharply drawn characters, beautiful use of light and shadow and a satisfying resolution. Pales a bit beside the definitive film in this genre, Come and See by Klimov, but still a solid work of historical filmmaking.
