		The Cranes are Flying is a flawless mixture of technical audacity and emotional purity…the kind of film Russia has been specializing in since the days of the silent era.
		Directed by Mikhail Kalatozov and superbly filmed by Sergei Urusevsky, Cranes is one of a remarkable string of post-Stalinist pictures that came out of the Soviet Union depicting war and its heartaches more truthfully than had been allowed in that country for far too long.
		In other words, The Cranes are Flying is a story that could not have been told any other way but cinematically…maybe the basic plot and structure could have been delivered, but not the emotional impact.

	The Cranes Are Flying Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		Along with Grigori Chukhrai's Ballad of a Soldier (another recent Criterion release) and Sergei Bondarchuk's Fate of a Man, The Cranes Are Flying was one of the first films to escape from the stranglehold the government had on the Soviet film industry in the years after World War II.
		As Chris Fujiwara explains in his informative liner notes, filmmakers were only allowed to speak "in glossy patriotic clichés about all-wise leaders and the necessity and nobility of sacrifice." With Stalin's death in 1953, the situation began to improve.
		As exciting as it is seeing a cinema — and a country — rediscover itself, the true strength of The Cranes Are Flying is its cinematography.

	DVD Talk Review: The Cranes are Flying
		The Soviet film The Cranes are Flying is one of the most cinematically compelling films in the history of cinema but for some reason it is not yet well known.
		Perhaps it is because it was made in the Soviet Union in 1957 — a few years after the death of Stalin — a time when the United States was deeply distrustful of anything that came out of a Communist country: Especially a film, which could potentially have a message involved.
		The Criterion Collection's DVD of The Cranes are Flying is a must for anyone interested in Soviet Cinema or landmark foreign language films.

	The Cranes Are Flying (DVD) \| The A.V. Club
		In recent years, Kalatozov's international breakthrough, 1957's Palme D'Or-winning The Cranes Are Flying, has been eclipsed somewhat by the unearthing of his 1964 propaganda film I Am Cuba, an outrageously beautiful (and beautifully outrageous) piece of pro-Castro Communist kitsch.
		A movie star that never was, Kalatozov's captivating tragedienne Tatiana Samoilova matches his intensity and bravado as a young woman whose devotion to Alexei Batalov, her new fiancé, is tested when he volunteers to fight the invading Germans.
		But as her letters to the front continue to go unanswered, Samoilova finds it harder to resist Shvorin's advances, even though she remains steadfast in her belief that Batalov will return when the war is over.

		When THE CRANES ARE FLYING shared the Grand Prix at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival, the West was quick to see it as a sign of change in the Soviet Union.
		Coming only a year after Kruschev had denounced Stalin's dictatorship in his momentous 'secret speech' to the 20th Party Congress, a film dedicated to the healing of wounds of war and to the search for personal happiness was bound to be seen as evidence of a new climate.
		As a veteran of the early avant-garde period (Salt For Svanetia was one of the most brilliant of all pre-World War II documentaries) Kalatozov brought a stylistic range back into Soviet cinema after the leaden framing and tempo of the Stalin era.
