There was a Russian director named Elem Klimov, who did his films during the communist days. They were constantly struggling with the authorities and to be allowed to express themselves. But he did one of the best war movies I've ever seen - it's called 'Come and See.'

For me, 'Come and See' is, by a million miles, the best film about war that has ever been made. I would highly recommend, encourage and enforce anyone to watch it.

'The War' is a stunning achievement in filmmaking.

During the war, I saw many films that made me fall in love with the cinema.

I actually think every war movie is an antiwar movie in its own way - with the exception of some of the propaganda movies.

The Manchurian Candidate was the most important movie I was in, let's face it.

'Russian Ark,' I adore - I almost cried at the end of that film, it's so beautiful.

Our film examines the heroism, courage and prowess of the Soviet submarine force in ways never seen before.

Nowadays, it is no longer possible to maintain that the Nazi-Soviet pact of 23 August 1939 was a fiction invented by bourgeois-imperialist enemies. Everyone has seen the film clips of Herr Ribbentrop landing in Moscow, and of Stalin smiling broadly as Ribbentrop and Molotov signed up side by side.

The Holocaust movie is almost a genre in itself these days.
