There is little that can be added to the review contained in the synopsis, except, probably, wishes how to reflect the state in which the underground were. This requires Dostoevsky-level psychology and a description of the Gorky-level environment. However, an attempt at some psychologism was undertaken by Soviet cinema in 1967 in the film “War under the roofs”, not very successful, but not a failure and certainly different from all-film underground work.
If in Soviet times the cliché for the creation of such films threw the opportunity over a deep analysis of what is happening, now those events and those states of motivation of the heroes are not only incomprehensible to us now, but we can say socially (but not personally!) are alien. And there is no possibility of transferring similar states - due to the lack of such in the mass and the ignorance of culture agents about such. And the most important obstacle to the creation of a plausible and psychologically true story on such subjects is now money - because for the accuracy of the transfer it is not enough just to be seen by a filmmaker or a skilled observer of modern realities (the latter is also a big problem among the current "creators"), a lot of work is necessary with documents, specialists psychologists, historians, painstaking work with actors, with the deprivation of their glamorous gloss - big work, unaffordable money with a small chance to beat them - it is much easier to shoot "historic" films, from any stage of our life with the psychology of psychologists, historians, right up to the beginning of the glamorous era of the 21st century!
More moments from the film - rare shots of the textured old city in Simferopol, with not yet removed tram rails, pavers and iron pillars of the contact line!
And another mystery about the defeat of the underground by the Germans immediately before leaving the occupied territories, whether in Krasnodon, Kiev or Simferopol. . .
