BLIZZARD OF SOULS
aka THE RIFLEMAN (DVESELU PUTENIS)
Latvia
| 2019 | Dzintars Dreibergs
Latvia’s official submission for this year’s Oscar for Best Int’l Feature Film is also the most-watched Latvian film since the restoration of that country’s independence. Based on a semi-autobiographical novel by Aleksandrs Grīns that was banned in the Soviet Union for 60 years, this lavishly mounted historical drama follows the exploits of a teen farm boy who serves as a rifleman in a Latvian battalion of the Imperial Russian Army during WWI. “A more realistic 1917.” –Hollywood Reporter. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. 123 min.
