Description
New DVD release with easy to read English subtitles! (see notes below) --
In this picturesque film, a man reflects back on his childhood, which places him as an orphan of about eight years of age living in Russia shortly after World War II.
For the most part, the story follows the boy (Aliosha Cherstvov) as he struggles to survive on the streets and during his stay at a boys' boarding school; themes here include the tyke's love for poetry, tendency to get in trouble, and his crush on a female teacher. Intertwined throughout, we see the grown orphan trying to learn more of his family, which was separated and rather destroyed by the war. Beautifully done. Features music by Vivaldi, Marcello and Corelli. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. Recommended!

Notes
When Award Films originally released this feature on VHS back in the 1980's there was approx 8-minutes cut from the original footage, and a few little snips here and there.
Restored scene: "while reminiscing about his childhood during the war years, the adult Aliosha visits his brother and nephew". We have restored that footage in this original Director's cut.
