From Russian labour-camp escapes to comedy gangsters, Soldier checks out the latest DVD releases...

摘要

BASED on a best-selling novel, this powerful epic tells the true story of Clemens Forell, a German soldier imprisoned in a Siberian labour camp at the end of the Second World War. Following four years of brutal treatment he escapes but not only finds himself pursued by the Russian military, he also faces a journey of more than 8,000 miles in one of the most hostile environments on earth. The film is in German but with English subtitles, which adds to the overall effect and impact. An absolutely incredible movie from start to finish, showing what one man will endure physically and mentally in order to see his family again.
