In the middle of the coldest part of the cold war, 1965, USSR's, "Father of the Son,"

97.125.118.212

harkens back to a "good war," World War II. This film shamelessly plows over the war fields of melodrama but good writing and a truly larger-than-life and Oscar-worthty performance by Georgian actor Sergo Zaqariadze (the memorable character of Georgian farmer Giorgi Makharashvil overwhelms the screen much as Renoir's Boudu did or George C. Scott's Patton) elevates this to a must-see for war genre aficionadi.
