The film "Dot" (Dot) tells about one of the many episodes that occurred in the most difficult, first year of the Great Patriotic War.
The rapid advance of the Germans pushes our soldiers further and further into the rear, shifting the front line to the east. As a result, several people in the dot are cut off from Soviet troops, getting into the deep rear of the Nazis.
Of the four people who were surrounded, only Captain Leonov, the main character of the picture “Dot”, the commander of this firing point, clearly knows how to conduct the defense. Navy sergeant Kovsh, unable to get to their own in time and two absolutely "green" soldiers who have not yet "sniffed gunpowder" help him, as they can, to repel the attacks of the Germans, but everything escalates after a downed Soviet plane falls next to the pillbox. On board are survivors - pilot Anna and General of the headquarters of the army of the Gordeev. At the same time, Gordeev, as it turns out, has secret information that the fascists really want to get. Their attacks become more fierce, and then Captain Leonov makes a difficult decision. . . close

As with so many early films by Sokurov, this film has two dates: the first is the date of its creation (the film was then banned), the second is the date of the final edition and legal public screening. The film consists of German and Soviet archive footage of the World War II — to be exact, from the end of the war. An attempt to make a large–scale documentary on this subject had been undertaken in the Soviet cinema of the 1960s: the film — “Ordinary Fascism” — by the outstanding Soviet film–maker Mikhail Romm had become a classic retrospective investigation of fascism. But Sokurov uses the expressive power of the documentary image in an absolutely different way. He does not amass materials for a large–scale picture of Nazi crimes. close

The story involves the neighbors, the building owner who avoids involvement and seeks solace in classic poetry, and the super and his suspicious wife. close

The Americans are swiftly closing on Okinawa, an island just south of the Japanese mainland. The Imperial command sends top generals and several army divisions to defend it at all costs. The mission quickly degenerates as vital resources and troops are diverted to other islands. After a civilian evacuation ends in tragedy most of non-combatants are forced to remain on the island. Many convert to soldier status. Tokyo sends mixed messages that squander time and resources, as when they order the defenders to build an airstrip for aircraft that never come. The truth soon becomes obvious: the high command decides that the island cannot be held and effectively abandons the Okinawan defenders. When the Americans land many troops are deployed in the wrong places. As the slaughter mounts, a suicidal attitude takes hold. Okinawa becomes a death trap, for civilian volunteers and non-combatants as well. close

“Death is my Trade” centers on the life of Rudolph Höss, the commandant of Auschwitz II-Birkenau for the majority of its existence. The main character's name in the film is Franz Lang. This name change was deliberate to ensure that the character is not automatically viewed as being some sort of villain or demon. Franz is an average German kid growing up during World War I. The film follows Franz as he grows up and becomes a hard, efficient, organized worker who eventually joins the National Socialist party in Germany. Impressionable young Franz takes orders as one of the utmost points of honor and duty, so when he is eventually asked by Heinrich Himmler to become commandant of the largest extermination camp built during WWII he barely hesitates to consider how heavy such a burden will be. close
